    E Electronics and Communication EC 433 — OPTICAL


    COMMUNICATION Question paper

    BE./B.Tech. DEGREE EXAMINATION, MAY/JUNE 2007.

    Seventh Semester

    Electronics and Communication Engineering

    EC 433 — OPTICAL COMMUNICATION

    Time: Three hours

    Maximum: 100 marks

    PART A — (10 x 2 = 20 marks)

    Answer ALL questions.

    1. What is the fundamental parameter of a single mode fiber?

    2. A step index fiber has a normalized frequency V = 26.6 at 1300 nm wavelength. If the core
    radius is 25 pm, find the numerical aperture.

    3. Mention the two causes of intra-modal dispersion.

    4. Define fiber loss.

    5. Compare LED and LASER.

    6. What is meant by population inversion?

    7. A photodiode is constructed of GaAs, which has band gap energy of 1.43 eV at 300 K. What
    is meant by long wavelength cutoff?

    8. What are the benefits of a trans-impedance amplifier?

    9. List the key requirements needed in analyzing a link.

    10. Define Modal Noise.

    PART B — (5 x 16 = 80 marks)

    11. (a) What are fiber modes? Explain mode theory for optical fibers in detail.

    Or
    (b) Compare Single mode fibers and Graded index fibers. Explain the requirements for fiber
    materials.

    12. (a) Discuss various kinds of losses that an optical signal might suffer while propagating
    through fiber, Which is most important one? What is the effect of these losses on light power and
    pulse shape?

    Or

    (b) What is mode coupling? Discuss pulse broadening in Gl fibers.

    13. (a) With neat diagram explain the construction and working of high radiance surface emitting
    LED.

    Or

    (b) Discuss about modulation of Laser diodes. Why thermoelectric cooler are used in Laser
    diodes?

    14. (a) What is known as quantum limit? A digital fiber optic link operating at 850 nm requires a
    maximum BER of 10*9. Find the minimum incidental optical power Po to achieve this BER at a
    data rate of 10 Mb/s for a simple binary level signaling scheme. (ry: 1), [1/r : B/2].

    Or

    (b) Discuss in detail digital receiver performance calculation and sensitivity calculation in detail.

    15. (a) What are the system consideration in point to point links? Explain in detail.

    Or

    (b) Discuss in detail Fiber splicing and connectors. Explain the operation principles of WDM.
