TUTORIAL 2

1. A certain optical fiber cable has an attenuation of 0.6 dB/km at 1310 nm.
Suppose the following two optical signals are launched simultaneously
into the fiber:
I. An optical power of 150µW at 1310 nm and
II. An optical power of 100 µ W at 1550 nm.
What are the power levels in µW of these two signals at (a) 8 km and (b)
20 km?
2. A continuous 40 km long optical fiber link has a loss of 0.4 dB/km.
a) What is the minimum optical power level that must be launched into
the fiber to maintain an optical power level of 2.0 µ W at the receiving
end?
b) What is the required input power if the fiber has a loss of 0.6dB/km
3. A double heterojunction InGaAsP LED emitting at a peak wavelength of
1310 nm has radiative and non-radiative recombination times of 25 and
90 ns, respectively. The drive current is 35 mA.
a) Find the internal quantum efficiency and the internal power level
b) If the refractive index of the light source material is n = 3.5, find the
power emitted from the device.
4. A 5 km transmission link consists of a step index multimode fiber that
has a core index n1 = 1.480 and a core – cladding refractive index
difference Δ = 0.01.
a) Show that the delay difference between the fastest and the slowest
modes is 247 ns
b) Show that the rms pulse broadening resulting from intermodal delay
is 71.2 ns
5. A photodiode has a quantum efficiency of 65% when photons of energy
1.5 × 10−19 J are incident upon it.
(a) At what wavelength is the photodiode operating?
(b) Calculate the incident optical power required to obtain a
photocurrent of 2.5 μA when the photodiode is operating as described
above.
6. A photodiode has a capacitance of 5 pF. Calculate the maximum load
resistance which allows an 10 MHz post-detection bandwidth.
Determine the bandwidth penalty with the same load resistance when
the following amplifier also has an input capacitance of 6 pF.

7. Given that the following measurements were taken for an APD, calculate
the multiplication factor for the device. Received optical power at 1.35
μm equals 0.2 μW Corresponding output photocurrent is 4.9 μA (after
avalanche gain) Quantum efficiency at 1.35 μm is 40%
8. When 1010 photons per second each with an energy of 1.28 × 10−19 J
are incident on an ideal photodiode, calculate:
(a) the wavelength of the incident radiation;
(b) the output photocurrent;
(c) the output photocurrent if the device is an APD with a multiplication
factor of 18.
