Abstract
In this paper complete comprehensive analysis of optical fiber communication system has been done. The parameters used in OFC communication system have different laser setup, wavelength bands, power level, modulation formats. An Optical fiber cable deals with examine of light that travels through dielectric medium. With the use of optical fiber cable in considerable parts of the world. In this paper, optical fiber cable (OFC) system with SMF cable is discussed which grants the propagation of light using total internal refraction (TIR) technique. The fiber cable composed of core enclosed by the cladding and both are made of dielectric materials. The single mode fiber cables are ideally suited for maintaining the uniformity of each light pulses which is totally contrary in case of multimode fiber cable. This allows for the transmission of more information per unit of time due to this advantage single mode fiber of boosts of higher bandwidth as compared to multimode fiber cable. The only disadvantage of single mode fiber cable is smaller core diameter, which makes the coupling of light between two single mode fiber cables difficult. This paper contributes the performance evaluation in the form of table collectively with the main characteristics of the modulation formats used in the OFC. These modulated signals are then transmitted through optical fiber cable and received by the optical detector to dictate the overall system performance and then analyzed by the eye detector. This paper closes with the discussion of the different applications of the optical cables used in the transmitting and receiving of data in a variety of industries like telecommunications, broadcasting, lighting and decoration, medical fields etc.
