Optical Fibres in Aeronautics, Robotics and Civil Engineering

2015

Telecommunication networks across the globe have been revolutionized with the deployment of optical fibers. Owing to the demand of present days internet services and access networks, fiber optic networks are expanding at a faster rate. The basic optical fiber material is high purity silica glass. Most of the technologies are now perfected and research is now directed towards new highly transparent materials for getting larger bandwidth. Recent development of photonic crystal fiber has shown tremendous benefit to medical sciences. Year 2015 has been proclaimed as the International Year of Light and Light-based Technologies by The United Nations General Assembly in order to campaign for optics and photonics research around the globe. Part of this article has been published in the journal - Transactions of the Indian Ceramic Society in December, 2014. Applications of guided medium, optical fiber and photonic crystal fiber will be described.

The Seventeenth Conference on “Optical Fibres and Their Applications 2017” was organized’ in Supraśl on 23-27 January 2017, by the Faculty of Electrical Engineering of Białystok University of Technology in co-operation with the Polish Society of Theoretical and Applied Electrical Engineering. Traditionally the patrons of these serial meetings are: the Committee of Electronics and Telecommunications of Polish Academy of Sciences, Polish Optoelectronics Committee of the Association of Polish Electrical Engineers, Photonics Society of Poland, and Polish Ceramics Society. The conference has gathered over 100 participants from leading photonics technology centers in Poland. There were presented over 50 plenary papers and around 40 posters. The conference topical sessions were concentrated around: hot topics of optical fibre photonics, materials for optical fibres and photonics including new glass synthesis for IR fibres, nonlinear and active glasses for optical fibres, polymer optical fibres, special optical fibres for functional components and sensors, optical fibre sensors solutions, optical fibre communications and networks including PON-WDM, photonic integrated circuits. In particular the detailed conference subjects embraced: • technology development and manufacturing of optical fibres – classical, telecom, sensory and microstructural; optical fibre cables; planar optical waveguides and components; integrated optics and micro-optics; optical, optoelectronic, photonic and optical fibre sensors; xiii • fibre optics components, passive and active, such as couplers, power dividers, connectors, optical insulators, fibre circulators, nonreciprocal devices, optical amplifiers, optical and optoelectronic devices for connecting optical fibres with light sources and receivers, optical fibre and planar multiplexers and demultiplexers, etc.; • fibre applications especially those that require close cooperation with specialists producing optical fibres, optical cables, transmission channels, and elements of fibre optics, optoelectronics and photonics; • fibre optic industries and professional training in the field of photonics.

Contents Preface XIII Section 1 Preface After the invention of the laser in the 1960s, the appearance of optical fibers enhanced applications that required the transportation of light from one place to another. As is well known, one of the main applications of optical fibers is optical communications, which were initially inefficient. Over time, different groups of scientists and engineers have been working to improve the efficiency of information transmission in optical fibers with materials that reduce absorption to the greatest extent possible. However, a large number of applications have been developed for which light absorption is not a real problem since the distances for sending information can be very short. Therefore, the technological development of optical fibers, for short or long distances, has been applied to a variety of uses in different areas such as the armed forces, industry, medicine, scientific research, and of course in communications, to name a few. Among the large number of applications that exist in optical fibers are different types of sensors, medical equipment to perform invasive surgeries, devices for industrial applications used in difficult access situations, various toys, decorative lighting, long-distance communications, and optical amplifiers, among others. Because of their great potential in applications and the advantages they offer over other systems, optical fibers will continue to be the subject of scientific research and technological development.

The very rapid growth in the need for communication, both quantitatively in terms of telephone links and in terms of quality as a result of the diversification of new services related to the introduction of digital technology, is making it necessary again to design a new system. Optical fiber transmission is becoming more and more common in modern society. The optical fiber has the property of driving light and serves in terrestrial and oceanic data transmissions, as well as in medical or industrial imaging applications. Today, data transfer must provide extreme performance. This requirement can only be fulfilled with perfect optical fibers, integrated in fiber optic cables of irreproachable quality.
