Optical Fibre Splicing Efficiency

1.1 Introduction:

Communication may be broadly defined as the transfer of information from one point to another. When the information is to be conveyed over any distance a communication system is usually required. Different communication technology has been evolved for data transmission. In recent years amongst all other communication medium optical fibre has been regarded most efficient.

Fibre optics has got rich history of its evolution. Optical communication is started at 1609 by Italian scientist Galileo, Galileian telescope [7]. Moreover as early as 1880 Alexander Graham Bell reported the transmission of speech using the light beam [2]. Optical communication is occupied with hitherto refinement. Optical fibre has been widely accepted because of its low loss, low dispersion and less susceptible to noise due to propagating...
