QUESTION 6: (20 MARKS)
(a) Explain the components of link power budget and system rise time budget of
optical communication systems with neat sketches. (10 marks)
(b) An optical power of 150 µW is launched in an optical fiber. The optical fiber
has an attenuation of 0.52 dB/km. The minimum optical power which can be
detected by an optical detector on the receiver side is -45 dBm. No optical
amplifiers are used to amplify and reshape the signal. Every 10 km an optical
fiber joint is required with an attenuation of 1.5 dB. Determine the maximum
possible length of optical fiber. (6 marks)
(c) A multimode step index fiber with a core diameter of 80 μm and a relative
index difference of 1.5% is operating at a wavelength of 0.85 μm. If the core
refractive index is 1.48, estimate the normalized frequency for the fiber and
number of guided modes. (4 marks)
