Optical Fiber Communication
Course Code-MCS-616
1. Draw a diagram to approaches of optical communication.
2. Draw a block diagram of Light wave application areas.
3. Why do we use fiber computing? State the characteristics of optical fiber communication.
Why we Use Optics for Computing?
One of the theoretical limits on how fast a computer can function is given by Einstein’s principle that “signal cannot propagate faster than speed of light”.
To make computers faster, their components must be smaller and there by decrease the distance between them.
Optical computing can solve miniaturization problem.
Optical data processing can be performed in parallel.
In optical computing, the electrons are replaced by photons
4. What is optical computer? Discuss the every key of optical components for computing.
Optical Computer:
An optical computer is a device that uses the PHOTONS in visible light, rather than electric current to perform digital computations.
An optical computer, besides being much faster than an electronic one, might also be smaller.
Bright flashes of laser light can be sent hundreds of miles along fine strands of specially made glass or plastic called OPTICAL FIBERS.
Instead of transistors, such a computer will have TRANSPHASORS
And unlike transistors can be built to handle several incoming signals at once.
Beams of light can crisscross and overlap without becoming mixed up, whereas crossed electric currents would get hopelessly confused.
The arrangement of connections and switches would not have to be flat, as in an electronic computer. It could be placed in any direction in space, allowing totally new designs in information processing.
Key of Optical Components for Computing:
1. VCSEL
2. SMART PIXEL TECHNOLOGY
3. WDM
4. SLM
1. VCSEL (VERTICAL CAVITY SURFACE EMITTING LASER)
VCSEL (pronounced ‘vixel’ ) is a semiconductor vertical cavity
