    Experiment 08: Procedure

    Uploaded by

    Phillip Taylor
    This experiment studied bending loss in optical fibers by measuring the loss of an optical signal transmitted through a fiber as it was wound around a mandrel. The procedure involved sending a 1 kHz sine wave signal through a 0.5m fiber, measuring the input and output amplitudes, then winding the fiber on a mandrel and observing the reduction in output amplitude. The result was that bending the fiber on the mandrel caused the output amplitude to decrease due to bending loss in the fiber.

    EXPERIMENT 08

    STUDY OF BENDING LOSS


    Introduction
    Bending is one of the primary causes for increase in attenuation in optical fibers and can be
    divided in two types, macro and micro bending. For macro bending, the bend radius is much
    larger than the fiber diameter whereas micro bend looses are caused by more local bending of the
    fiber.
    Equipments Required:
    1.
    ST2502 trainer with power supply cord
    2.
    Optical Faber cable
    3.
    Cathode ray oscilloscope with necessary connecting probe
    4.
    Mandrel
    Connection Diagram:

    Procedure:
    1. Connect power supply cord to the main power plug & to trainer ST2502 .
    2. Make the connections as shown in figure 8.1.
    a)Function Generator 1 KHz sine wave output to input socket of emitter Circuit via 4 mm lead.
    b)Connect 0.5 m optic fiber between emitter output and detectors input.
    c)Connect Detector output to amplifier input socket via 4mm lead.
    3. Switch On the power supply of the trainer and oscilloscope.
    4. Set the Oscilloscope channel 1 to 0.5 V/ Div and adjust 4-6 div amplitude by using X 1 probe
    with the help of variable pot in function generator Block at input of Emitter.
    5. Observe the output signal from detector (TP8) on CRO.
    6. Adjust the amplitude of the received signal as that of transmitted one with the help of gain
    adjusts potentiometer in AC amplifier block. Note this amplitude and name it V 1 .

    7. Wind the fiber optic cable on the mandrel and observe the corresponding AC amplifier output
    on CRO, it will be gradually reducing, showing loss due to bends
    Result
    The experiment is to measure the bending loss in the optical fiber.
    After Set the Oscilloscope amplitude We see the amplitude of power input and output are
    different, because of bending loss
