Abstract:
The analysis of fiber optics for macro bending-based slope sensors using SMF-28 single-mode optical fibers has been successfully conducted. Fiber optics were treated to silicon rubber molding and connected with laser light and power meters to measure the intensity of laser power generated. The working principle was carried out using the macrobending phenomenon on single-mode optical fibers. The intensity of laser light in fiber optic cables decreases in the event of indentation or bending of the fiber optic cable. Power losses resulting from the macrobending process can be seen in the result of the information sensitivity of fiber optics to the change of angle given. From the results of the study, the resulting fiber optic sensitivity value is -0.1534o/dBm. The larger the angle given, the lower the laser intensity received by the power meter.

Abstract:
The term “fiber optics” means the use of dielectric waveguides to transfer information. In aircraft systems with digital controls, fiber optics has advantages over wire systems because of its inherent immunity to electromagnetic noise (EMI) and electromagnetic pulses (EMP). It also offers a weight benefit when metallic conductors are replaced by optical fibers. To take full advantage of the benefits of optical waveguides, passive optical sensors are also being developed to eliminate the need for electrical power to the sensor. Fiber optics may also be used for controlling actuators on engine and airframe. In this application, the optical fibers, connectors, etc., will be subjected to high temperatures and vibrations. This paper discusses the use of fiber optics in aircraft propulsion systems, together with the optical sensors and optically controlled actuators being developed to take full advantage of the benefits which fiber optics offers. The requirements for sensors and actuators in advanced propulsion systems are identified. The benefits of using fiber optics in place of conventional wire systems are discussed as well as the environmental conditions under which the optical components must operate. Work being done under contract to NASA Lewis on optical and optically activated actuators sensors for propulsion control systems is presented.

Abstract:
An optical fiber is a high-speed telecommunication transmission medium. Principally, an optical fiber is made of a very fine glass fiber material, which is able to transmit light waves using light reflection method on the surface of the fiber optics core. An underground installation of the fiber optics makes this device robust from external interferences. However, the fiber optic cable performance should always be checked to maintain performance during data transmission process. One way to test fiber optics cable performance is by using an Optical Time - Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) device. This device sends a light wave from one point of the fiber optics cable. The light wave then returns when reaching the other point of the fiber optic cable while carrying some measurement parameters especially the physical length and attenuation of a fiber optic cable. The evaluation of the fiber optics cable performance requires the preparation, installation, and configuration of the OTDR. In this paper, we conducted evaluation on the performances of fiber optics cable. The data generated by the performed evaluation indicated an occurring attenuation on the fiber optics cable along 64.402 km of its lengths.

Abstract:
Fiber optics is an important part in the telecommunication infrastructure. Large bandwidth and low attenuation are features for the fiber optics to provide gigabit transmission. Nowadays, fiber optics are used widely in long distance communication and networking to provide the required information traffic for multimedia applications. In this paper, the optical fiber structure and the operation mechanism for multimode and single modes are analyzed. The design parameters such as core radius, numerical aperture, attenuation, dispersion and information capacity for step index and graded index fibers are studied, calculated and compared for different light sources.

Abstract:
Abstract In fiber-optic video systems, as well as in optical communication systems, standard single mode optical fibers (SSMF, standard G.652) are usually used. One of the advantages of these fibers is the ability to use CWDM in a wide spectrum. At the same time, more optimal near the wave-length of 1550 nm are provided by non-zero dispersion fiber (NZDSF, standard G.655) fibers. However, as studies have shown, these optical fibers have an increased sensitivity to bending. This fact can be used to traffic interception. It is shown that fiber-optics systems with SSMF have more protection from traffic interception than systems with NZDSF. To transmit a high-confidentiality video signal, special techniques, such as frequency modulation, can be used, or additional noise signals can be added.

Abstract:
Free space optics is a kind of broadband communication technique that transmits the signals, in the atmosphere through laser beams. In some cases, the laser beams are replaced with infrared and modified beams. Free Space Optics (FSO) is also referred as Free Space Photonics that works same as the principle of fiber optic communication where the source beams are transferred through air medium. In the traditional fiber optic communication, the optical fibers were used for transferring the beam signals. The FSO methodology is widely employed in various ubiquitous applications for their cost and deployment effectiveness. The motive of the work is to explore the concepts and theories behind the operation of different FSO models with their recent progress.

Abstract:
Optical fibers provide the means for transmitting large amounts of data from one place to another and are used in high precision sensors. It is important to have a good understanding of the fundamental properties of these devices to continue to improve their applications. A specially type of optical fiber known as a W-fiber has some desirable properties and unique characteristics not found in matched-cladding fibers. A properly designed W- fiber supports a fundamental mode with a finite cutoff wavelength. At discrete wavelengths longer than cutoff, the fundamental mode experiences large amounts of loss. The mechanism for loss can be described in terms of interaction between the fiberâ ¢s supermodes and the lossy interface at the fiberâ ¢s surface. Experiments and computer simulations support this model of W-fibers. The property of a finite cutoff wavelength can be used to develop various fiber devices. Under consideration here is the fiber polarizer. The fiber polarizer produces an output that is linearly polarized along one of the fiberâ ¢s principal axes. Some of the polarizer properties can be understood from the study of W-fibers.

Abstract:
Fiber-array optic composites combine fiber-optic, microlens array, and Fourier-optic properties and allow for many novel, manufacturable, cost-effective designs. Optical elements include fiber-optic faceplates, couplers, inverters, tapers, concentrators, reformatters, field limiters, and resolution filters. Faceplates with high numerical aperture provide substrates for phosphor screens and other energy-conversion devices. Fiber array field flatteners and couplers reduce the size, cost, and weight of optical designs. Inverters with concave surfaces provide on-axis, unobstructed field flattening and image erection in a compact package unparalleled by classical optics. Tapers offer magnification or minification with aspect ratios less than unity and also have the unique capability to illuminate and observe from one face. Fiber-array optics have extraordinary potential in the areas of photonics and integrated optics because they combine optical, mechanical, and electronic properties into one composite. Examples include digital cameras with circuit patterns and active devices on one side that transmit to circuits, devices, or a film imaging medium on the opposite side. New opportunities in optical computing and switching are suggested by the realization of the fractal dimension of array architectures. The design flexibility of fiber-array optics provides designers with tools to create many unique, manufacturable, low-cost optical and photonic systems.

Abstract:
Fiber optic Fourier transform spectrometer(FTS) may find its applications in gas sensing, space astronomy, etc. because of its compactness, low cost, etc.. Similarly, Fiber optic double Fourier interferometer is very attractive for double Fourier interferometric imaging(DFII) with telescope array. In both fiber optic FTS and fiber optic DFII, all optical operations are carried out with guided optics(optical fiber and directional coupler). Beams are transported in fibers. Beam splitting and combining are performed by directional couplers. Optical path delay is generated by stretching fibers(or, probably with combination with optical switchs) which are usually wrapped onto piezoelectric(p/z) tubes driven by high voltage.

Abstract:
Compression of femtosecond optical pulses using a single-mode fused silica fiber (glass fiber) always needs high amplification of laser output pulses because of a low nonlinear refractive index n2 G of its fiber.1) This leads to some problems concerning the pulse stability in time and space, the pulse repetition rate, the optical damages to the glass fiber, and the precise adjustment of a big amplifier system. In order to solve these problems we inverstigated femtosecond-response, highly third-order nonlinear organic crystalline fibers.

Abstract:
Polymer optical fibers (POF's) have recently drawn increasing attention in optical data communication community. The use of POF's allows low cost large bandwidth optical communications for distances shorter than 100 meters. A simple reason behind the low cost is that a large fiber diameter (0.75-1.0 mm) permits the use of plastic injection-molded connectors which are much cheaper than conventional multi-element metal connectors for glass optical fibers (GOF's). In this paper, we further explore the applications of POF's to short distance optical interconnections. The focus here is on how to provide inexpensive couplings for POF interconnected data links.

Abstract:
In the past five years the optical apparatus, heart of a photon correlation spectroscopy (PCS) experiment, has undergone major advances through the deployment of optical fibers. The once cumbersome apparatus comprising of bulk optics, photomultipliers, and goniometers has been revolutionized through the miniaturization achievable by advances in semiconductor lasers, fiber optics and semiconductor photon detectors. Tanaka and Benedek1 were the first to report the use of optical fibers in PCS systems. The first fiber optic back scatter system, developed by Dyott2, was applied to the characterization of size3-4, and motility5. Auweter and Horn6 modified the Ross et al.3 device by replacing the "hole-in-mirror" with a multimode directional fiber optic coupler. Dhadwal7 used a graded index microlens to replace the fiber coupler. These fiber optic back scatter systems provide a homodyne detection of the scattered light, and as such are limited in their effectiveness in the study of concentrated suspension. In order to alleviate this difficulty Dhadwal et al.8 developed a self-beating back scatter fiber optic probe, which has proved effective in the study of concentrated aqueous suspensions of polystyrene spheres, as well as in the study of proteins systems in excised, but intact, human eye lenses9. A generalized fiber optic receiver was developed independently by Brown10 and by Dhadwal and Chu11-12. In both devices an optical fiber is positioned in the focal plane of lens. Brown opted for the use of a plano-convex lens, while Dhadwal and Chu employed a cylindrical graded index microlens. These probes have added versatility and compactness to the optical system, without sacrificing detection efficiency. Dhadwal and Ansari13 used a linear array of optical fibers positioned in the back focal plane of a graded index microlens to provide simultaneous measurements of the scattered light at 11 scattering angles. Haller et al14 used large diameter optical fibers in a general purpose laser light scattering facility.

Abstract:
Expanded beam fiber-optic couplers offer great convenience for fiber cable connection, which is very desirable for local area network and other short-haul applications. But because most short-haul fibers are usually multimode, the large core causes significant aberration losses in conventional designs such as aspherics and GRIN lenses. Based on Liouville's theorem applied to nonimaging optics, we have developed a class of high efficiency expanded beam multimode fiber-optic coupler.
