    The document determines the numerical aperture (NA) and acceptance angle of two optical fibers with lengths of 1 meter and 1/2 meter to evaluate their suitability for telecommunications. It finds that the 1 meter fiber has an NA of 0.287, acceptance angle of 21.7 degrees, and power loss of -47.4db. The 1/2 meter fiber's NA is 0.365, acceptance angle is 18.475 degrees, and power loss is -38.4db.

    DETERMINING NUMERICAL APERTURE,

    ACCEPTANCE ANGLE AND OPTICAL


    POWER LOSSES OF OPTICAL FIBERS FOR
    FINDING THEIR SUITABILITY IN
    TELECOMMUNICATIONS APPLICATIONS
    Aim:
    To determine the Numerical Aperture (NA) and acceptance angle Ca)
    of the given two different (1 meter and ½ meter cables) optical fibers to
    find their suitability in telecommunications applications.
    Observing the optical power losses, when light is passing through
    two different (1 meter and ½ meter cables) optical fibers during, (a)
    when they are not coupled each other and (b) when they are coupled
    each other through an in-line adaptor.

    Apparatus required:

    Fiber optic LED light source, Fiber optic power meter, Fiber
    Optic (FO) cable 1 meter, FO cable½ meter, In-line adaptor (to
    connect 2 cables), NA-Jig (L- shape with scale on one side and
    connector on other side).

    Formula:

    NA= sin

    where
    W - Diameter of the spot (m)

    L - Distance between the fiber end and the screen (m)

    a- Acceptance angle (deg)
