EXPERIMENTAL CHARACTERIZATION OF FIBER OPTIC COMMUNICATION LINK FOR DIGITAL TRANSMISSION SYSTEM

Abstract

In this paper, main focus is on the experimental characteristic of optical communication link and of their components. We give an introduction to optical fiber systems and various phenomenons related to it. The phenomena of attenuation and dispersion are discussed elaborately and details are provided through experimental observation and verification. A laser diode and photodetector are also discussed and their characteristics curves are plotted. All the details about various topics mentioned above are concluded and verified through experiments.
