POLARIZATION PROFILE IN SINGLE MODE OPTICAL FIBER AND ITS APPLICATION IN OPTICAL COMMUNICATION
Keywords:
Polarization, single optical fiber, DoP, birefringence, optical communicationAbstract
The development of communication technology in the digital era
encourages the use of optical fiber as a reliable high-speed data transmission
medium. Single-mode optical fiber offers advantages in terms of distance and
transmission capacity, but still has challenges related to the phenomenon of light
polarization. Polarization is the orientation of the electric field of light that can
change during propagation due to pressure, bending, temperature, and
birefringence. These changes can reduce signal quality, cause power loss, and trigger
polarization mode dispersion (PMD), the highest DoP (97%) is obtained when the
fiber is straight and free of interference, indicating that almost all light remains
polarized. In long-distance transmission (50 meters), the DoP decreases to 72%,
indicating the effect of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) or cumulative
interference during propagation. This study was conducted using a literature study
method to understand the characteristics of polarization in single-mode optical fiber
and its impact on the performance of the optical Extinction communication system.
Parameters such as Degree of Polarization (DoP) and Polarization Ratio (PER) are
used to measure polarization stability. The results show that the physical and
environmental conditions of optical fibers greatly affect the degree of light
polarization, where the DoP decreases drastically when the fiber is disturbed.
Technologies such as polarization-maintaining fiber, polarization controllers, and
polarization-division multiplexing (PDM) techniques have been developed to
manage polarization and maintain transmission quality. Understanding and
controlling polarization are key to optimizing modern optical communication
systems.
