Modelling Silica Optical Fibre Reliability: A Software Application
نویسندگان
چکیده
In order to assess optical fiber reliability in different environmental and stress conditions series of testing are performed simulating overlapping of chemical and mechanical controlled varying factors. Each series of testing may be compared using statistical processing: i.e. Weibull plots. Due to the numerous data to treat, a software application has appeared useful to interpret selected series of experiments in function of envisaged factors. The current paper presents a software application used in the storage, modelling and interpretation of experimental data gathered from optical fibre testing. The present paper strictly deals with the software part of the project (regarding the modelling, storage and processing of user supplied data). Keywords—Optical fibres, Computer aided analysis, Data models, Data processing, Graphical user interfaces.

A4.4 Reliability of Silica Fibres
The total length of silica optical fibre now installed around the world measures in the tens of Gm; the majority of it for telecommunications applications. While the fibre has proved reliable so far, with most failures being caused by external factors such as ‘dig-ups’ [1], the huge capital investment involved requires that long term reliability be treated as a serious issue. FIGURE 1 shows a W...
متن کاملRaman Spectra of a PMMA Microstructured Optical Fibre and Direct Measurement of Its Gain Coefficient
A polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) microstructured polymer optical fiber (mPOF) is fabricated and characterized. Using the cut-back technique the fiber loss is measured which is higher than the step-index silica fibers. Through a novel experimental scheme, the backward Stokes spectrum of the fabricated mPOF is recorded over a range exceeding 3000 cm‑1 during the cut-back method and compared ...
متن کاملTheoretical study of Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) in polymer optical fibres
We present the modelling of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in graded index polymer fibres made with fluoropolymer CYTOPr(Cyclic Transparent Optical Polymer). Comparison of SBS in silica and polymer optical fibres is presented. What emerges is that polymer-based fibre sensors require, compared to silica-fibres sensors, higher power sources (in the order of Watts). The innovative aspect of...
متن کاملEffect of Nonlinear Phase Variation in Optical Millimetre Wave Radio over Fibre Systems
In this paper, we propose an optical millimetre wave radio-over-fibre (mm-wave RoF) system that uses a dual drive Mach Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM), which is biased at the maximum transmission biasing point, to generate an optical double sideband-suppressed carrier. The input to the DD-MZM are binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 8-phase shift keying (8-PSK) and...
متن کاملThulium environment in a silica doped optical fibre
Thulium-doped optical fibre amplifiers (TDFA) are developed to extend the optical telecommunication wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) bandwidth in the so-called S-band (1460–1530 nm). The radiative transition at 1.47 μm (3H4 3F4) competes with a non-radiative multiphonon de-excitation (3H4 -3H5). The quantum efficiency of the transition of interest is then highly affected by the phonon ene...
