1. What is fiber optics and what makes it the best today in information
carrying capacity?
Fiber optic cable is a high-speed data transmission medium. It contains tiny glass or
plastic filaments that carry light beams. Digital data is transmitted through the cable
via rapid pulses of light. It is mostly used because of the following reasons;
it the best today in information carrying because they permit transmission over longer
distances and at higher bandwidths (data rates) than electrical cables.
Optical fiber cables have limited bend radius (about 30 mm). So, if they are
bent more, it might lead to some signal loss.
Fiber splicing is a complicated procedure and requires skilled manpower to
achieve. If it is not done properly, there will be performance degradation.
3. An optical fiber has numerical aperture of 0.20 and a cladding refractive index of
1.59.
Determine:
a) the acceptance angle for the fiber in water which has a refractive
index of 1.33;
data:
NA=0.2 NO=1.33
NA 0.2
the acceptance angle(𝛼)= sin−1( ) = sin−1( ) ≈ 8.65°
n0 1.33
The base of NST1 builds on lessons learned, is to increases the economic extracted through
knowledge. As the below article mention, with the internet all thing will be possible, the
faster internet will be brought by fiber optics.
A BPO services development program will be established to capitalize on previous
investments in fiber optic. Interventions will include: leveraging Kigali Innovation City as a
mechanism to spur ICT services including BPOs, supporting universities and education
centers to upgrade skills related to BPO services…
Decision, is that the knowledge based on economic will be achieved through increasing the
internet all over the country. This internet will be transmitted with fiber optics
