One of the main directions in the development of optical communication systems is associated with the use of optical fiber (ОF) for data reception and transmission. Therefore, manufacturers began to pay special attention to the creation of new brands of OF, improving their optical and operational characteristics. This makes it possible to improve existing optical fiber components that use OF as an active medium. The most widely used are two-wavelength 1 × 2 WDM multiplexers/demultiplexers designed to separate and combine optical carriers with wavelengths of 1310 and 1550 nm, corresponding to the second and third transparency windows of quartz OF. It should be noted that multiplexers and demultiplexers are the same optical devices, which are spectrally selective splitters. Such devices are distinguished by a sufficiently high level of optical characteristics at a relatively low cost of products. However, an analysis of the multiplexers produced in recent years shows that the characteristics of these devices do not sufficiently correspond to the set of modern requirements imposed by most system developers, in particular on permissible values of external influencing factors, insertion loss and the value of optical isolation of channels. Therefore, the development and research of WDM multiplexers with improved optical characteristics is relevant. One of the possible ways of optimizing such devices using new types of OF with resistance to bending losses, of which WDM multiplexers could be made. In this paper, we consider the possibilities of realizing fused single-mode multiplexers/demultiplexers based on combined fiber structures. The technology and equipment for the manufacture of these devices are presented. The optical characteristics of experimental samples of WDM multiplexers are investigated. The results of testing for the effect of temperature are given.

"Advance design and day to day up-gradation of communication system is the requirement of international telecommunication. The optical communication systems involve the effective fiber coupling or splicing to meet the need of long communication channel. When the studies on both the intensive and extensive properties of optical fiber are exploring new research horizons, the effectiveness of such systems can be calibrated with transmission parameters like transmitted fractional power, which is a function of ‘spot size’ as well. Our study of fiber junctions based on fundamental parameters like wavelength, fiber profile index etc. has touched some unrevealed areas and explored some interesting results. The profile index of optical fiber has received less attention compared to other structural parameters of optical fiber but our study at important wavelengths for different profiles has shown that the less-used fiber profiles has some interesting premier outcomes, which can introduce some significant impact on optical fiber based system design and engineering. We have observed almost frequency or wavelength independent transmitted fractional power around the most used 1.55 micrometer wavelengths at some rarely used fiber profile index. Our study predicts the best and worst fiber profiles for transmitted fractional power (T ), at the same time, we have observed the fiber profile index independent region for a band of ‘T’ values. The reporting and its approach are found to be premier in this field. So, our work is reporting a comparison of effective fiber-to-fiber coupling, based on fiber profile index of different fibers. It is also giving a clear view of the wavelength dependency of effective fiber coupling for different fibers having wide range of graded fiber profiles."

This research introduces a numerical design of an air-core vortex polymer optical fiber in cyclic transparent optical polymer (CYTOP) that propagates 32 orbital angular momentum (OAM) modes, i.e., it may support up to 64 stable OAM-states considering left- and right-handed circular polarizations. This fiber seeks to be an alternative to increase the capacity of short-range optical communication systems multiplexed by modes, in agreement with the high demand of low-cost, insensitive-to-bending and easy-to-handle fibers similar to others optical fibers fabricated in polymers. This novel fiber possesses unique characteristics: a diameter of 50 µm that would allow a high mechanical compatibility with commercially available polymer optical fibers, a difference of effective index between neighbor OAM modes of around 10−4 over a bandwidth from 1 to 1.6 µm, propagation losses of approximately 15 × 10−3 dB/m for all OAM modes, and a very low dispersion for OAM higher order modes (±l = 16) of up to +2.5 ps/km-nm compared with OAM lower order modes at a telecom wavelength of 1.3 µm, in which the CYTOP exhibits a minimal attenuation. The spectra of mutual coupling coefficients between modes are computed considering small bends of up to 3 cm of radius and slight ellipticity in the ring of up to 5%. Results show lower-charge weights for higher order OAM modes.

We present a low-cost scheme for non-permanent optical signal coupling for prospective application in single use photonic integrated chips. The proposed scheme exploits the use of polymer kinoform microlenses. The feasibility of the proposed solution is demonstrated by the experimental investigation of the optical signal coupling from single mode optical fiber (SMF) to the test structure of SixNy integrated waveguide.

The research was conducted by analyzing the optical fiber attenuation of the DWDM performance in terms of power received on optical fiber communication systems link Padang-Lubuk cone in PT. Telkom Padang. Optical fiber has a very small damping. Therefore optical fibers become the primary choice in telecommunications networks. To improve the transmission quality is better then the use of DWDM technology, DWDM technology is a method to insert a number of channels were transmitted in a single optical fiber. Instruments in this study is the Power Meter and OTDR JDSU MTS-2000 type, the type of cable used G.655 Single Mode type. Link Power Budget method is used to determine the performance of DWDM caused by attenuation based on the value of the received power output receiver. On the link Padang - Lubuk cone highest attenuation occurs in core 1 of 29.742dB with 100.035 km cable lengths, and the core 10 of 31.8 dB with 119.998 km cablelengths. Based on the large fault or attenuation/km core 1 of 0.297 dB/km, the core 10 of 0.265 dB/km and the standard ITU-T was 0.35 dB/km. Value attenuation/km core 1 and core 10 is still in normal conditions and under standard ITU-T 0.35 dB/km. Based on optical fiber attenuation, the results of analysis of the link power budget is the value of Rx is smaller than the value of Rx sensitivity of -27 dBm, it can be said performance DWDM optical fiber communication systems in normal and can be used to operate because the power output can still be accepted by receiver in the device. Keywords:optical fiber cable, optical fiber attenuation, DWDM, link power budget.

Abstract Optical filters based on cascade single mode - multimode - single mode fiber structure (SMS) has considerable attention as a reliable optical device the reliability is due to its simplicity, compactness, low cost, all fiber device, low transmission loss, and can be continuously tune the laser wavelength at a specific spectral range. The principle of the operation is based on self- image and multimode interference (MMI) phenomena. A tunable filter was simulated based on cascade single mode-no core-single mode (SNS) fiber structure surrounded by magneto-optical fluid (MOF) using finite element method (FEM), the influence of the no core fiber (NCF) diameter and length on the tunablility and the bandwidth is investigated and optimized. Two materials were adopted as a MOF. The results show that the tunability of the filter can be improved by decreasing the NCF diameter. A continuous wavelength tunability about 37 nm from 1518 to 1555 nm with a bandwidth about 10 nm is obtained. The device is highly stable, inexpensive, provide wide tuning range compared with other tuning methods. This device can be used in optical communication, fiber sensor, spectroscopy, and in fiber laser technology. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first optical fiber MMI tunable filter by magnetic field effect.
