Optical fibre factors that limit thetransmission capaity of optical lines

Bachelor´s thesis more closely specifies effects of attenuation and dispersion of optical fibers in connection with influencing transmitted signal bandwidth and data transfer capacity. It also examines the influences acting on the optical signal passes through an optical fiber and the mechanism that lead to the attenuation or complete suppression of the signal. The first chapter describes in detail the transmission environment in terms of optical fiber attenuation characteristics of the signal loss caused by rough handling of the optical fiber, manufacturing and material specifications, resulting in scattering or absorption of the transmitted signal. Also, whether the description of fiber dispersion, resulting in the shrinking spectrum of transmitted signal and thus the amount of data at a certain point in time transfer to a defined distance. The second chapter analyzes the effects of attenuation and dispersion in fiber optic transmission capacity currently used in presently optic cables, mechanical couplings, connectors and active components. By mentioning a few examples of real transmission lines with regard to the spectral transmission characteristics that these systems require. This study also includes protocols used to transfer information using xWDM systems. The third chapter deals with modern methods to establish a number of optical signals into a single transmission fiber. Particular attention is devoted to describing the principle of association of the channels in the optical frequencies xWDM, since this method does not currently have a standard solution of information transmission optical fiber for its use significantly more bandwidth, longer distances while maintaining vaulted speed transmission and the possibility of flexible extension without laying new cables and reduce the cost of building transmission lines. The last chapter focuses on describing the implementation of a mathematical model to the spectral characteristics of optical fibers
