An Industrial Training
presentation on
OPTICAL FIBER COMMUNICATION
B.Tech final year EC
Under guidance of Mr.ATUL KUMAR,Deptt. Of Electronics Engg.,AITH KANPUR
Ordinance Equipment Factory
• Indian Ordinance Factories is a giant industrial
setup.
• There are 39 Ordnance Factories geographically
distributed all over the country .
• Ordnance Equipment Factory, Kanpur (OEFC) is
one of the oldest and important equipment
manufacturing .
Manufacturing Items
• Textile Items
• Leather Items
• Engineering Items
• Heater Space Oil Burning
• Ammunition Boxes
• Carrier Ammunitions
Optical fiber system
• An OFC system is similar in basic concept
to any type of communication system.
• The function of which to convey the signal
from source over the medium to
destination.
Transmission medium can consist of a pair
of wires.
Fiber Cable
History
• 1988- First transatlantic cable
• 1996- First transpacific cable
• 1997- First Fiber Optic Link Around the
Globe (FLAG)
Present
• Telecommunications
• Internet Access
• Cable and Satellite Television
• Decorative Light Source
Fiber Has More Capacity
• This single fiber can carry more
communications than the giant
copper cable!
Fiber Optic Cable
• Protects the
fibers wherever
they are installed
• May have 1 to
over 1000 fibers
Fiber Optic Connectors
• Terminates the fibers
• Connects to other fibers or
transmission equipment
Fiber Optic Communications
• Applications include
– Telephones
– Internet
– LANs - local area networks
– CATV - for video, voice and Internet connections
– Utilities - management of power grid
– Security - closed-circuit TV and intrusion sensors
– Military - everywhere!
Fiber Optics (introduction):
• Transmitting
communications
signals over hair
thin strands of
glass or plastic
• Not a "new"
technology
• Concept a century
old
• Used commercially
for last 25 years
Use of Fiber Optics:
• Economics
• Speed
• Distance
• Weight/size
• Freedom from interference
• Electrical isolation
• Security
Fiber Optic Applications
• Fiber is already used in:
– > 90% of all long distance telephony
– > 50% of all local telephony
– Most CATV networks
– Most LAN (computer network) backbones
– Many video surveillance links
• While we already transmit signals at Gigabits per
second speeds, we have only started to utilize
the potential bandwidth of fiber
Fiber Technology
Fiber Technology
Light Used In Fiber Optics
• Fiber optic systems transmit using
infrared light, invisible to the human
eye, because it goes further in the
optical fiber at those wavelengths
Wavelength-Division
Multiplexing
Fiber Optic Applications
• Outside Plant vs. Premises Installations

Network Example:
Optical Networks
• Fiber-to-the-x
– Broadband network architecture that uses
optical fiber to replace copper
– Used for last mile telecommunications
– Examples: Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH);
Fiber-to-the-building (FTTB); Fiber-to-the
premises (FTTP)
• Fiber Distribution Network (reaching
different customers)
– Active optical networks (AONs)
– Passive optical networks (PONs)
