An introduction to optical waveguides

In this paper is presented an approximate solution for the fundamental mode of the step-index optical fiber with taking into account the Kerr nonlinearity. The solution is obtained by a known method of Gauss approximation. The derivation of the characteristic equation for the equivalent mode spot radius and analytical expressions for the propagation constant and its first, second and third derivatives are described. The analytical formulas for time delay and chromatic dispersion are given too. Based on the obtained analytical solution there were calculated the dependencies from the optical power the parameters of fundamental mode for the sample of the step-index optical fiber.

It is proposed the experience of the optical fiber type identification by advanced hot image analysis by equipment based on fusion splicer Ericcson FSU 975. Methods for hot image obtaining and their processing are considered. Practical recommendations on fiber type identification by hot image analysis are represented.

Optical fiber type identification by hot-image analysis

A modeling approach for the simulation of fiber optic communication links is proposed. Simulation model of various signal processing operations and physical noise process is introduced. Influence of link irregularities of different types and orders on transmitted signals is shown. Results of proposed model approaching are compared with known simulation algorithms of modeling fiber optic communication systems.

Simulation modeling of fiber optic communication links

We present an extension of the modified Gaussian approximation method to analyze multimode optical fiber with arbitrary axial-symmetric refractive index profile. Unlike to known Gaussian approximation, optical fiber with an arbitrary index profile is considered as multi-cladding optical waveguide, and core region profile is represented as the set of N layers in which the refractive index can be taken as a constant. Numerical values of the core mode parameter and propagation constant were obtained and compared with exact solutions. In all cases, good accuracy was noticed.
