Fundamentals of Fiber Optics
Optical Ribbon Fiber in today’s networks
History
1841
Daniel Colladon demonstrates light guiding in jet
of water
120 years later we have lasers
By 1970 we finally have fiber that have a low
enough attenuation to be of use in
communications
2010 The technologies keep coming
giving us better distances , more
stable systems and greater capacity.

from sand to a light pipe
Silicon dioxide – SiO2
One of our most abundant oxide in the worlds crust
As a point of interest Australia has a major producer “Simcoa Operations” in Western Australia.
Silicon production commenced in December 1989.
Today Simcoa is capable of producing in excess of 33,000 tonnes of high purity silicon annually.

from sand to a light pipe
Draw towers convert the preform into the fiber
before coating, preforms can make up to 30 km of
fiber from one preform.
When Telstra rolled out its network we had two
draw towers in production. Today we only have
research (small production) towers in Australia.

fiber configuration
The 125um raw fiber is coated
wth 250um buffer first then
900um for cord and raiser
applications. In ribbon it is only
coated with 250um prior to
bonding or lamination

Cable Structures
Four main types of Ribbon Cable
Loose tube
Slotted
Uni Tube
Patch Cord

Cable Preparation
Cable preparation varies with depending on the manufacturer and the type
of cable. The video from Prysmian is a resent run and give you a good idea
of the accepted practice.

Connections in the Optical Network
Optical Ribbon Fiber in today’s networks
Connections in the Network
Typical connection we have are Patch leads at both ends of the network, Fusion
splicing in Universal enclosures, Field Pluggable network connections, Central
office or exchange Pigtails.

Connections in the Network
Starting at the Exchange,
Central office or Field Access
Node we have mass spliced
pigtails in the racks
Optical Ribbon Fiber in today’s networks
23
Connections in the Network
The pigtails are presented on a
ribbon fiber which enables us to
splice 12 pigtails at a time.
In the case of a 144 pigtails it
would take about the same time
as 10 single fiber pigtails.

Connections in the Network
The Design of enclosure to suit Ribbon fiber has
posed a few problems. Basically the fiber can not
be laid up the same way as single fiber loose
tube, ribbon does not have the same flexibility,
as such corning took a new approach with the
“spine” while others have designed new tray to
accommodate the ribbon, in all cases the storage
area once used to provide extra cable now
accommodates fiber from the tray.

Connections in the Network
Optitip and Optitap are a field
ruggedized connection that is
being used in FTTH
While some applications need the
tube fanned out in the rack, the
unit shown has individual tubes for
each fiber.

The Fusion Splice

Fusion Splicing
Splicing Technology
• First Cladding Alignment Splicer
by Fujikura 1977
• First LID alignment splicer by
Siemens 1984
• First PAS alignment Splicer by
Fujikura 1985

Fusion Splicing
Michelson interference fringes give us a
method to measure the shape and angle of
the cleave.
Polished ends are also show the effect of
the glass being chipped by the blade.

Loss on Optical Fiber
Optical Ribbon Fiber in today’s networks
Loss on Optical Fiber

Rayleigh scattering - Scattering of light caused by index of refraction variations in the
submicroscopic structure of the glass.

Absorption -A physical mechanism in fibers that attenuates light by converting it in to heat

Manufacturing irregularities - Such as geometric variations in core diameter or circularity,
voids in the glass, defects at the core-cladding interface, and imperfect application of
dopants, can cause scattering loss. However, these regularities are usually negligible in
present day fibers.

Microbending - Curvatures of the fiber that involve axial displacements of a few micrometers
and spatial wavelength of a few millimeters. Microbends cause loss of light and consequently
increase the attenuation of the fiber. Loss due to microscopic bends in the fiber.

Macrobending - Macroscopic axial deviation of a fiber from a straight line, in contrast to
microbending. Loss due to large bends in the fiber.
