SECTION-B
2. Explain briefly Rayleigh scattering loss mechanism in optical fiber. How its effect can be
reduced?
3. Describe briefly speed versus sensitivity tradeoff of photo detectors.
4. Describe III-V alloys type semiconductor materials generally used for fabrications of
optical sources. Suggest some names of materials for typical wavelengths.
5. Discuss light wave systems used for local area networks.
6. A 1.55 ?m continuous wave signal with 6 dBm power is launched into a fiber with
50 ?m

effective and area. After what fiber length the nonlinear phase shift induced by
SPM becomes 2 ?. Assume n

/ W and neglect fiber losses.
SECTION-C
7. An analog optical fiber system has a modulation bandwidth of 40 MHz and a modulation
index of 0.6. The system utilizes an APD receiver with responsivity of 0.7 and is
quantum noise limited. An SNR (rms signal power to rms noise power) of 35 dB is
obtained when the incident optical power at the receiver is ?30dBm. Assuming the
detector dark current may be neglected, determine the excess avalanche noise factor at
the receiver.
8. Explain in detail loss limited light wave system and dispersion limited light system.
9. Explain high capacity point to point WDM lightwave systems.
