Optical Link ?

3 Fiber Optic links are ideally suited for High Speed, High

reliability, EMI/RFI immune, digital data transmission in

harsh environment conditions such as airborne

avionics and computers, Commercial telecommunications,

Outside Broadcast, Natural Disaster Search and Rescue

operations, Geophysics, Battlefield communications

and Weapon systems…

In such environments a massive amount of data, voice

and video has to be securely transmitted, sometimes

over long distance, and in Harsh environment.

This is exactly what Fiber Optics Links can do.

Thanks to a very large bandwidth and a very small

diameter, Fiber Optic Links do provide a very fast,

reliable, light weight, quick and easy to deploy means

of transmitting a mind-boggling quantity of information

between various equipments or systems.

Because they only carry light pulses, Fiber Optic Links

are totally immune to Electromagnetic or Radio

Frequency interferences which are always a threat to

the integrity of the information transmitted.

In hazardous environment (i.e post natural disaster

rescue operations) light transmitting Fiber Optic Links

are safe as they can not generate electrical sparks that

could for instance trigger a gas explosion.

As a preferred choice for deployable Battlefield

communication systems, where secrecy is paramount,

Fiber Optic Links are best suited : the light pulses being

transmitted can not be detected, or hacked into making

the link almost “invisible”.

Amphenol extensive range of Connectors for Fiber

Optics Links provide Interconnect Solutions for most

situations and environments : butt joint or expanded

beam technology, single or multi- channel, singlemode

or multimode fibers.

In a basic fiber optic link, information such as video,

voice and data have to be converted from a copper wire

network to and optical one.

The place of origin for all data entering in the optical

network is called a transmitter. It converts coded

electrical signals to equivalently coded light pulses.

Light moves to the first connection, through the fiber

optic link (which might include several connections)

and down to the last termini. Then the receiver decodes

the optical pulses to an electrical signal.

Amphenol supplies the complete interconnect

assem-bly, including the connector, termini, fiber and optional

accessories.

Glossary

5 “dB” definition :

Expression of an optical power in log base. The 3dB Rule states that

for every added 3dB of attenuation, one looses 50% of the power.

Insertion loss :

Power loss created by an additional element on a link. Under log

base, it is the ratio between the output power Pout and the input Pin.

The lower the number is, the better the insertion loss

(generally measured in dB)

Return loss (single mode applications) :

The return loss is the ratio of the reflected optical power Pback to

the incident power Pin in dB unit. Hence, it is the back reflection

power from a device on a link. The lower the negative value in dB is,

the better (ie –50dB is better than –30dB)

Wavelength :

Considering monochromatic light as a wave, it is the distance

between two peaks of signal (ie 850 and 1300nm for multimode

applications; 1300 and 1550nm for single mode ones)

Bandwidth :

Difference between the high and low frequency of a transmission

band. The higher the number, the better.

Mode :

The light can be described as a wave going upon a specific path.

This path is called a mode. In a multimode fiber, the light goes upon

several paths in the fiber core. A single mode fiber allows the light

to go only upon one way.

Fiber types :

Waveguides are classified, on one hand by the core material index

profile and on the other hand by the mode propagation ability. Single

mode fibers have a constant index profile on the core cross section.

Most multimode fibers are gradient index fibers. As opposed to

traveling in a straight line in single mode fibers, the rays travel in a

spiral form around the optical axis for the multimode ones.
