Abstract

The improvement in technology over long distance communication using optical fiber has been regulated over past few decades, and it took drastic enhancement in one of the major parameter for joining two OFC cable (splicing). The different experiments performed in order to bring about the result that can give nearly 0dB splice loss when there is shifting of entire set up of Optical Fiber Communication. The splicing loss is created by the joining of two SMF using fiber optic fusion splicing. The objective of this paper is to determine the low splice loss in joining two single mode or multimode optical fiber, such that long distance communication that required multiple infrastructure assembly for its operational unit can be made relocatable as there is large investment and material and electronic circuitry is associated to it. Therefore to reduce that cost we have sets of analysis that splicing loss can be reduced to 0dB for SMFSMF end face connection or at least no improvement in splice losses while relocation of OFC infrastructure from one place to other place as the result of the tested experiment. Based on experiment conducted we came to conclusion that with essential requirements for establishing a low-loss and high-speed communication line using optical fibers, the need for quality of splicing technology along with perfect core alignment angle is required to reduce splice loss, such that the infrastructure can be shifted to many different location without any additional cost of new material and new resources. The exact measurement of splice loss can be insured by another set of formula which we came across during the experimental performance.

Highlights

  • In the late 18th century the optical communication came to an existence for more efficient and accurate communication by the French inventor

  • The joint splice loss was detected by splicer machine and total loss was verified using Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR)

  • Fig-5 Graphical Representation of losses from experiment 2. In this experimental work of splice loss and total loss in the optical fiber cable the observation came to the conclusion that in Optical Time Domain Reflectometer (OTDR) the reading that are taken total loss is the combination of other losses that include bending loss, refractive loss, propagation loss, absorption loss, scattering and other losses but the splice loss remain the same as it was been observed before

Summary

INTRODUCTION

In the late 18th century the optical communication came to an existence for more efficient and accurate communication by the French inventor. In the month of April 1977 testing deployment of the world's first live telephone traffic through a fiber-optic system was introduced that has speed running at 6 Mbps Later it followed in invention of the Bell in May 1977, with an optical telephone communication system installed in the downtown area, covering a distance of 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers). Optical Return Loss (ORL) or Overall Return Losses (ORL) is the total amount of light reflected from break or discontinuity of fiber. For this measurement ORL meter can be used. OTDR is referred than LSPM (Light Source & Power Meter) or OLTS (Optical Loss Test Set) because it gives individual loss component measurement
