FOCL in computer networks

By Steve Rogers,
Other methods of splicing are less common, we will not dwell on them.
VIACOM OPTIC company carries out the installation of optical communication lines using a Sumitomo type 35 SE welding machine. This device allows you to weld any type of fiber in manual and automatic modes, tests the fiber before welding, sets the optimal operation parameter, estimates the quality of the surfaces of the fibers before welding, measures the loss at the fiber joints and, if necessary, gives the command to repeat welding. In addition, the apparatus protects the welding site with a special sleeve and checks the strength of the welded joint. The device allows you to weld single-mode and multimode fibers with losses of 0.01dB, which is an excellent result. I would especially like to say about a specially developed technique for assessing the quality of welding. In devices of other designs, such as BICC, the fiber bends, and at the end of the fiber to be welded, laser radiation is detected, which is detected at the end of the second fiber to be welded by the photodetector. With this measurement method, the fiber undergoes excessive bending deformation, which can lead to the formation of cracks in this section of the fiber. Sumitomo takes measurements in a non-destructive way based on the processing of video information using specially developed algorithms.
For some special applications, optical fibers are available with a special sheath coating or with a complex refractive index profile at the core-sheath boundary. In such fibers, it is very difficult to introduce probe radiation in the bending region. For Sumitomo devices, working with special fibers is straightforward. Such devices are quite expensive, but we work on such devices. This achieves two goals: 
1) high-quality welding, 2) high speed of work, which is important when fulfilling important orders (urgent liquidation of an accident on a trunk line).
During the installation of the FOCL, the line is tested using an optical reflectometer. According to VIMCOM OPTIC specialists, one of the most adapted devices for these purposes is the Ando AQ7220 mini reflectometer. Lightweight and compact (340x235x100 mm, 4.6 kg with a built-in battery for 3-4 hours of operation), it is especially convenient for working in the field. The device has an internal memory, 3.5 "drive, hard disk (optional).
The increase in sales leads to a significant reduction in the cost of all FOCL components, and new technologies for the construction of optical networks allow the creation of highly reliable telecommunications.

If we detect N photons from a coherent state of light for a measurement,

By Steve Rogers,
Short answer: A good order of magnitude rule of thumb for the maximum possible bandwidth of an optical fibre channel is about 1 petabit per second per optical mode. So a "single" mode fibre (fibre with one bound eigenfield) actually has in theory two such channels, one for each polarisation state of the bound eigenfield. I'll just concentrate on the theoretical capacity of a single, long-haul fibre; see roadrunner66's answer for discussion of the branching in an optical network. The fundamental limits always get down to a question of signal to noise in the measurement (i.e. demodulation by the receiver circuit). The one, fundamentally anavoidable, noise source on a fibre link is quantum shot noise, so I'll concentrate on that. Therefore, what follows will apply to a short fibre: other noise sources (such as Raman, amplified spontaneous emission from in-line optical amplifiers, Rayleigh scattering, Brillouin scattering) tend to become significant roughly in pro

ingle-mode fiber uses only one mode of light to propagate

By Steve Rogers,
Single-mode fiber uses only one mode of light to propagate through the fiber-optic core. In single-mode fiber-optic cabling, the core is considerably smaller (8 to 10 microns) in diameter. A 9/125 optical fiber indicates that the core fiber has a diameter of 9 microns and the surrounding cladding is 125 microns in diameter. The core in single-mode fiber is only approximately 10 times larger than the wavelength of the light it is carrying. This leaves very little room for the light to bounce around. As a result the data carrying light pulses in single-mode fiber are essentially transmitted in a straight line through the core. Typically single-mode uses a laser light source, which is more expensive to produce, requires higher levels of safety awareness, and can transmit data further than multimode. Single-mode (such as a 9/125) can carry data up to 3000 meters (9,840 ft.) according to the existing standard (note that the standard in this case may not reflect the physical limitation)

Copper, fiber or wireless network?

By Steve Rogers,
While for decades the debate about which one is better (copper, fiber or wireless network), increased interest in discussing wiring, it is now becoming irrelevant.  In communications technology and the end-user market, it seems, it has already been decided that, in general terms, the transmission media and many networks must combine all three.  Currently, for the designer of wiring networks, especially fiber optic networks, and for their clients, the task of deciding which means to use once the communication systems were chosen is very simple. Long-distance and external plant Almost all telephony system cables are fiber optic, except telecommunications systems that still use copper for the final connection to the home.  CATV companies use a high-performance coaxial cable inside homes, but it connects to a  fiber optic  backbone  network .  Backbone (  backbone  ) Internet consists of fiber in its entirety.  Most commercial buildings that are in heavily populated areas receive d
