What Is Fiber Optic Cable?

Optical fiber cable is a type of communication cable. It uses one or more optical fibers in a protective covering to transmit information. We can use optical fiber cables alone or in groups to meet specific performance requirements. 

Fiber cables are mainly composed of optical fibers (glass fibers as thin as hair), plastic protective sleeves, and plastic sheath. There are no metals such as gold, silver, copper, aluminum, etc. inside the cable, and it generally has no recycling value.

Basic Structure

Fiber Optic Cable Types

1. According to different transmission performance, distance, and purpose, optical fiber cables can be divided into end user fiber cable, local telephone cable, long distance cable, and underwater fiber optic cable.

2. According to the types of optical fibers used, they can be divided into single mode fiber optic cable and multimode fiber optic cable.

3. According to the number of fiber cores inside, it can be divided into single core optical cable, dual core fiber cable, multi-fiber cable, etc.

4. According to the different configuration methods of reinforcement components, optical cables can be divided into central reinforcement optical cables, dispersed reinforcement optical cables, protective layer reinforcement optical cables, and comprehensive outer protective layer optical cables.

5. According to the different transmission conductor and medium conditions, optical cables can be divided into non-metallic fiber cable, ordinary optical cables, and comprehensive optical cables (mainly used for railway dedicated network communication lines).

6. According to different laying methods, optical cables can be divided into pipeline optical cables, underground fiber optic cable (direct burial fiber optic cable), aerial fiber optic cable, and submarine fiber optic cable

Optical Fiber Cables Limit

The Optical Fiber cables are mainly limited by two indicators: allowable tensile strength and flattening forces. See below:Cable typeAllowable tensile (N)Allowable tensile (N)Allowable flattening forces (N/100mm)Allowable flattening forces (N/100mm)Short termLong termShort termLong termDuct, non self-supporting aerial fiber optic cable15006001000300underground fiber optic cable3000100030001000Special direct burial fiber optic cable10000400050003000undersea fiber optic cable （20000N）200001000050003000submarine fiber optic cable（40000N）400002000080005000

Pre Terminated Fiber Cable Methods

The main methods include permanent connections, emergency connections, and active connections.

1. Permanent fiber optic connection (also known as fiber optic splicing) 

2. Emergency connection (also known as cold melt, related product will be mechanical connector or fast connector) 

3. Activity Connection 

How To Choose Optical Fiber Cable?

Except fiber count and fiber types, we should consider the external sheath of the cable according to its usage environment when we choose which kind of the optic fiber cable.

1. If directly burying outdoor, armored optic fiber cable should be selected such as GYTS GYTA GYXTW, etc. When overhead, a black plastic outer sheath with two or more reinforcing ribs can be used, such as self-supporting drop cable, figure-8 cable, etc.

2. If used in buildings, should care the flame retardant, toxicity, and smoke characteristics. Generally, flame retardant but smokeless types (Plenum) can be selected in pipelines or forced ventilation areas, while flame-retardant, non-toxic, and smokeless types (Riser) should be selected in exposed environments.

3. If vertically laying cables inside the building, distribution cable can be used; If deploying horizontally, breakout cables can be selected.

If the transmission distance is within 2km, multimode fiber can be selected. If the distance exceeds 2km, relay or single mode fiber can be used.

Fiber Optic Solutions in Dubai: Enhancing Connectivity with Advanced Technologies

Dubai has long been a global leader in embracing cutting-edge technologies to drive progress and development. The city's telecommunications infrastructure is no exception, with fiber optic cables, fiber patch cords, and joint closures playing crucial roles in ensuring seamless connectivity across the UAE. In this article, we delve into the significance of these components, along with the critical roles of Optical Distribution Frames (ODF) and Micro Duct systems in Dubai’s advanced communication networks.

Fiber Optic Cables in Dubai

Fiber optic cables are the backbone of modern telecommunications networks. These cables, made from thin strands of glass or plastic, transmit data as light signals, allowing for high-speed internet and reliable communication over long distances. In Dubai, fiber optic cables are essential for various applications, from residential internet connections to large-scale corporate networks and smart city projects.

The advantages of fiber optic cables over traditional copper wires are numerous. They offer greater bandwidth, enabling faster data transmission speeds and supporting the growing demand for high-definition content, video conferencing, and cloud-based services. Additionally, fiber optic cables are less susceptible to electromagnetic interference, providing a more stable and secure connection.

Fiber Patch Cords in Dubai

Fiber patch cords, also known as fiber jumpers, are short fiber optic cables used to connect devices within a network. These cords are critical for establishing connections between different pieces of hardware, such as switches, servers, and patch panels. In Dubai's fast-paced and technology-driven environment, the need for reliable and efficient fiber patch cords is paramount.

Patch cords come in various types and configurations, including single-mode and multi-mode fibers, each suited for specific applications. Single-mode fibers are typically used for long-distance communication, while multi-mode fibers are ideal for shorter distances and local area networks (LANs). The versatility and reliability of fiber patch cords in dubai make them indispensable in Dubai's telecommunications infrastructure.

Joint Closures in Dubai

Joint closures are protective enclosures used to join and secure fiber optic cables. These closures are essential for maintaining the integrity of fiber optic networks, especially in outdoor and underground installations. In Dubai, where the climate can be harsh and construction activities are frequent, joint closures in Dubai play a vital role in protecting fiber optic connections from environmental factors such as moisture, dust, and physical damage.

Modern joint closures are designed to be robust and easy to install, ensuring that fiber optic networks remain operational with minimal downtime. They are also engineered to accommodate future expansions, making them a cost-effective solution for growing networks in Dubai.

The Role of ODF in Dubai’s Telecommunications

Optical Distribution Frames (ODF) are critical components in managing and organizing fiber optic cables within a network. These frames provide a central point for connecting and routing fiber optic cables, ensuring efficient and orderly cable management. In Dubai, ODFs are widely used in data centers, telecommunications hubs, and other critical infrastructure.

ODFs help reduce the complexity of managing large volumes of fiber optic cables, making it easier to perform maintenance, upgrades, and troubleshooting. They also enhance the overall reliability and performance of the network by minimizing signal loss and ensuring secure connections.

Micro Duct Systems in Dubai

Micro Duct systems are innovative solutions for deploying fiber optic cables in a cost-effective and efficient manner. These systems consist of small, flexible conduits that house fiber optic cables, allowing for easy installation and expansion. In Dubai, where rapid development and technological advancements are the norms, Micro Duct systems are becoming increasingly popular.

Micro Duct systems offer several benefits, including reduced installation costs, faster deployment times, and minimal disruption to existing infrastructure. They are particularly useful in urban environments where space is limited, and the need for scalable and future-proof solutions is high.

Conclusion

Dubai’s commitment to advancing its telecommunications infrastructure is evident in its widespread adoption of fiber optic technologies. From fiber optic cables and patch cords to joint closures, ODFs, and Micro Duct systems, each component plays a crucial role in ensuring the city remains at the forefront of connectivity and innovation. As Dubai continues to grow and evolve, its reliance on these advanced technologies will only increase, driving further progress and development in the UAE.

Scientists demonstrate innovative perovskite waveguides with edge lasing effect

Integrated photonic circuits operating at room temperature combined with optical nonlinear effects could revolutionize both classical and quantum signal processing. Scientists from the Faculty of Physics at the University of Warsaw, in collaboration with other institutions from Poland as well as Italy, Iceland, and Australia, have demonstrated the creation of perovskite crystals with predefined shapes that can serve in nonlinear photonics as waveguides, couplers, splitters, and modulators. The research results, published in the journal Nature Materials, describe the fabrication of these innovative structures and the edge lasing effect. In particular, this effect is associated with the formation of the condensate of exciton-polaritons, which are quasiparticles behaving partly like light and partly like matter.

Copied verbatim from my Facebook:

Let me try to write a clear derivation of the correlation of the two-channel optical Bell test, WITHOUT using quantum mechanics. I will use only probability theory.

If I succeed, this means the 2022 Nobel Prize in Physics was awarded in error. That, in fact, the work on which it was based should be retracted as uncorrectably erroneous.

Before I present my derivation—it is rather simple—let me make two observations that themselves should settle the matter.

The first is that consistency of mathematics requires that any two methods MUST reach the same result. Therefore, if I try to solve for the Bell test correlation using probability theory and reach a result OTHER than the so-called "quantum" correlation (for instance "CHSH inequalities"), obviously I have made a mathematical error. That this has not occurred to physicists is astounding.

The second observation is that I can replace polarized photons with equatorially striped golf balls, the light source with a zany two-ball putter, and polarizing beam splitters with weird miniature golf obstacles. The problem remains exactly equivalent and yet there is nothing "quantum" about it. Even the quantum mechanics of the problem is identical. To argue that you cannot use quantum mechanics because the objects are "macroscopic" is nothing less than to argue that very small objects are magical and have a special magical incantation tongue.

Now, here is the experiment.

We have a light source. It emits two light pulses, which we will call "photons", but about which we will assume nothing except that they have either horizontal or vertical polarization. The two photons will have opposite polarization, but which is horizontal and which vertical is decided at random.

Each photon will impinge upon a polarizing beam splitter (PBS). A PBS set to an angle x behaves as follows. If the impinging photon is polarized horizontally, then, with probability cos² x, a photodetector is triggered whose value is +1 for the correlation calculation. With probability sin² x, a photodetector whose value is -1 is triggered. If the photon is vertically polarized, the probabilities are reversed. The two PBS have angular settings a and b, respectively.

These photodetector values make the correlation equal to the covariance and thus simplify the calculation.

Let us solve first the simplest case, where b = 0 and a is some general angle, say a = a'. In that case it is ALWAYS the +1 photodetector that is triggered if the b photon is horizontally polarized, but the -1 photodetector if the b photon is vertically polarized. Thus we can ignore the b PBS's photodetectors in our calculations. Their value contains no information not already available.

Using some probability theory notation, here is a small chart of probabilities and conditional probabilities. Let t equal the value of the a PBS's photodetectors and k the polarization of the impinging photon.

P(t = +1 | k = horiz) = cos² a'

P(t = -1 | k = vert) = cos² a'

P(t = +1 | k = vert) = sin² a'

P(t = -1 | k = horiz) = sin² a'

P(k = horiz) = ½

P(k= vert) = ½

Thus joint probabilities can be calculated, as in this example:

P(t = +1 and k = horiz)

= P(t = +1 | k = horiz) P(k= horiz)

= ½ cos² a'

The following table can be constructed.

P(t = +1 and k = horiz) = ½ cos² a'

P(t = -1 and k = vert) = ½ cos² a'

P(t = +1 and k = vert) = ½ sin² a'

P(t = -1 and k = horiz) = ½ sin² a'

The covariance and thus the correlation can be calculated from this table. Keep in mind that k = horiz corresponds to a -1 value from the b PBS and k = vert corresponds to a +1 value. Thus

corr = covar

= (+1)(-1)P(t = +1 and k = horiz)

+ (-1)(+1)P(t = -1 and k = vert)

+ (+1)(+1)P(t = +1 and k = vert)

+ (-1)(-1)P(t = -1 and k = horiz)

= -(cos² a' - sin² a')

= -cos 2a'

where the last step is an identity ("double-angle relation") that can be found in the CRC Handbook of Mathematical Sciences, among other places.

This result has the desired form:

corr = -cos 2a'

= -cos 2(a' - 0)

= -cos 2(a - b)

The sole remaining difficulty is how to extend the result to values of b other than zero.

Fortunately, this is not difficult at all. Notice that -cos 2(a - b) is invariant under in-unison rotation of the angles a and b. That is, one can add ANY angle c to both a and b, without changing the value of the correlation. Thus the solution derived above is, in fact, the general one:

corr = -cos 2(a - b)

How is it that physicists have missed this fact and not seen that it leads to a solution of the Bell test WITHOUT quantum mechanics? You tell me. I have no explanation other than that, as a profession, they are no good at physics. I was able to see it because I am NOT a physicist, but a disabled computer programmer with a digital signal processing diploma. But you tell me, if you have a better explanation.

In any case, this means that all the stuff about "entanglement" and "non-locality" is fit for nothing but retraction. Every existing physics text that deals with this stuff should be withdrawn and pulped.

Have your PIC-based devices been tested reliably and quickly?

Photonic Integrated Circuit (PIC) solutions are being adopted by manufacturers to address the reduced size and complexity challenges while also addressing heat management issues experienced in today’s data centres. Frantic development of smaller, faster, cheaper and greener transceivers/active components and passive components is driving the development of high-speed networks and 5G, Photonic Integrated Circuits (PICs).

Passive optical components used in optical systems operate without external power or active control. They use processes such as transmission, reflection, polarisation, coupling, splitting, filtering, and attenuation to alter light signals.

Need for Testing

A PIC is composed of many optical components such as optical couplers, fibre-optic switches, splitters, attenuators, wavelength-division multiplexers, and transceivers.

Testing of any PIC-based device is needed in all life cycle stages — from design and development, and qualification to validation of production.

Testing — The Requirements

Automation, repeatability, scalability and parallelisation of the testing processes are needed for the huge volume of circuits and ports, to be able to meet the profitability of economies of scale. Photonics labs must evolve with the optical test requirements of passive (guiding light) optical components.

The fast-maturing PIC die manufacturing has given rise to photonic wafers containing thousands of components made available by foundries through Process Design Kits (PDKs). Reliable testing is needed to optimise the different parameters of a given optical component.

Testing — The Challenges

Accuracy/repeatability: Obtaining traceable results for tight acceptance thresholds and greater yield of known good dies.

Dynamic range: Seeing full optical spectral contrast in a single measurement.

Speed: Keeping alignment and measurement time to a minimum, but also accelerating the ease of the test and analysis iterative flow.

From data to insight: Generating and managing structured data that is ready for artificial intelligence and business intelligence.

Flexible/Scalable: Leveraging test station modularity and third-party compatibility of software to improve test throughput and complexity over time or swap equipment as needed.

Automation: Automating chip and wafer advanced navigation to control any instrument and execute data analysis in user-defined test routines to test massive circuits with minimal cost of ownership.

Testing PIC-based passive components is challenging due to the high port count of some components like Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) and the huge number of components to test on a single die. A component test platform operates in conjunction with a continuously tunable laser to measure optical insertion loss, return loss and polarisation-dependent loss across the laser’s spectral range. The optical spectrum must be realised quickly and with a high wavelength resolution, typically to the order of a picometer.

Testing — The Process

The PIC devices are usually tested at the wafer level prior to dicing to detect defects as early as possible and to avoid packaging defective dies.

Using a PIC wafer probe station, light is coupled into the wafer to enable measurement of the optical characteristics of the DUT.
