OFC
SM fibre ( Single mode fibre)-
It is a type of fibre optics cable that has smaller core diameter compared to multimode fibre.
This means only a single mode of light can travel through it,resulting less signal loss and higher bandwidth.
It transmits a single ray of light,which has higher bandwidth capabilities and preferred in longer distance applications.
Multi mode Fibre Optic Cable-
Large diameter core that allows multiple modes of light to propogate.
As the core increases,more data passes through a given time.
Quality of signal reduced over long distances.
Typically used for short distances,data and audio/video applications in LANs.
Windows of OFC -
1 st window - 850 nm - Short wavelength region
2 nd window - 1310 nm - O band
3rd window - 1550 nm - C band
Attenuation is minimum at 3 rd window.
2nd and 3rd window are used in Single Mode Fibre.
