Question 1 |
An optical fiber is kept along the \hat{z} direction. The refractive indices for the electric fields along \hat{x} and \hat{y} directions in the fiber are n_{x}=1.5000 and n_{y}=1.5001, respectively (n_{x} \neq n_{y} due to the imperfection in the fiber cross-section). The free space wavelength of a light wave propagating in the fiber is 1.5\mum. If the light wave is circularly polarized at the input of the fiber, the minimum propagation distance after which it becomes linearly polarized, in centimeter, is ___________.
0.2 | |
0.25 | |
0.37 | |
0.45 |
Question 1 Explanation:
Initially the wave is circularly polarized. So, the
initial phase difference between field components
in \hat{a}_{x} direction and \hat{a}_{y} direction is \frac{\pi}{2}
To become linearly polarized, the wave must travel a minimum distance, such that, the phase difference at that point between the field components in \hat{a}_{x} direction and \hat{a}_{y} direction is \pi
(i.e., the travel of this minimum distance should provide an additional phase difference of \pi / 2 between \hat{a}_{x} and \hat{a}_{y} field components).
So,
\begin{aligned} z_{min}k_z&\sim z_{min}k_y=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ z_{min}\left [ \frac{\omega }{V_{px}}\sim \frac{\omega }{V_{py}} \right ]&= \frac{\pi}{2} \\ 2 \pi z_{min}\left [ \frac{f}{c}\sqrt{\varepsilon _{rx}}\sim \frac{f}{c}\sqrt{\varepsilon _{ry}}\right ]&=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ \frac{4 z_{min}}{\lambda _0}[n_x\sim n_y]&=1 \\ z_{min}&=\frac{\lambda _0}{4(n_x\sim n_y)} \\ &=\frac{1.5}{4(1.5\sim 1.5001)}\mu m \\ &= \frac{1.5}{4(0.0001)}\mu m=\frac{1.5}{4}cm\\ z_{min}&=0.375cm \end{aligned}
To become linearly polarized, the wave must travel a minimum distance, such that, the phase difference at that point between the field components in \hat{a}_{x} direction and \hat{a}_{y} direction is \pi
(i.e., the travel of this minimum distance should provide an additional phase difference of \pi / 2 between \hat{a}_{x} and \hat{a}_{y} field components).
So,
\begin{aligned} z_{min}k_z&\sim z_{min}k_y=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ z_{min}\left [ \frac{\omega }{V_{px}}\sim \frac{\omega }{V_{py}} \right ]&= \frac{\pi}{2} \\ 2 \pi z_{min}\left [ \frac{f}{c}\sqrt{\varepsilon _{rx}}\sim \frac{f}{c}\sqrt{\varepsilon _{ry}}\right ]&=\frac{\pi}{2} \\ \frac{4 z_{min}}{\lambda _0}[n_x\sim n_y]&=1 \\ z_{min}&=\frac{\lambda _0}{4(n_x\sim n_y)} \\ &=\frac{1.5}{4(1.5\sim 1.5001)}\mu m \\ &= \frac{1.5}{4(0.0001)}\mu m=\frac{1.5}{4}cm\\ z_{min}&=0.375cm \end{aligned}

Question 2 Explanation:
\begin{aligned} f&=5 \mathrm{GHz}, G=150, R=1 \mathrm{km} \\ P_{t}&=100 \mathrm{kW}, \sigma=3 \mathrm{m}^{2} \\ P_{r}&= \frac{(G \lambda)^{2} \cdot \sigma}{(4 \pi)^{3} R^{4}} \times P_{t} \\ &=\frac{\left(150 \times \frac{3 \times 10^{8}}{5 \times 10^{9}}\right)^{2} \cdot 3}{(4 \pi)^{3} \cdot 10^{12}} \times 10^{5} \\ &=\frac{81 \times 3 \times 10^{5}}{(4 \pi)^{3} \times 10^{12}} \\ &= 1.224 \times 10^{-8}=0.012 \mu \mathrm{W} \end{aligned}

Substituting in first equation,
\begin{aligned} b_{1} &=s_{11} \cdot a_{1}+s_{12}\left(\frac{-s_{21} \cdot a_{1}}{1+s_{22}}\right) \\ &=\frac{s_{11} \cdot a_{1}+s_{11} \cdot s_{22} a_{1}-s_{12} \cdot s_{21} a_{1}}{1+s_{22}} \\ \frac{b_{1}}{a_{1}} &=s_{11}=\frac{s_{11}+s_{11} \cdot s_{22}-s_{12} \cdot s_{21}}{1+s_{22}} \end{aligned}
When output is short, a_{2}=-b_{2}
\begin{aligned} -a_{2} &=s_{21} \cdot a_{1}+s_{22} a_{2} \\ \Rightarrow \quad a_{2} &=\frac{-s_{21} \cdot a_{1}}{1+s_{22}} \end{aligned}
Substituting in first equation,
\begin{aligned} b_{1} &=s_{11} \cdot a_{1}+s_{12}\left(\frac{-s_{21} \cdot a_{1}}{1+s_{22}}\right) \\ &=\frac{s_{11} \cdot a_{1}+s_{11} \cdot s_{22} a_{1}-s_{12} \cdot s_{21} a_{1}}{1+s_{22}} \\ \frac{b_{1}}{a_{1}} &=s_{11}=\frac{s_{11}+s_{11} \cdot s_{22}-s_{12} \cdot s_{21}}{1+s_{22}} \end{aligned}
