Laboratory exercises: Dispersion in optical fibers
Bilek, Maroš ; Klíčník, Ondřej (oponent) ; Münster, Petr (vedoucí práce)
This thesis first addresses the theoretical analysis of optical fiber transmissions with a focus on the dispersions occurring in optical fibers. Chromatic and polarization mode dispersion are described in detail, including their origin, impact on the transmitted signal, and measurement methods. Based on the theoretical analysis of measurement methods, two were selected for application in the practical part of the thesis, specifically for designing measuring setups for laboratory exercises. The designed setups were practically implemented on several types of fibers with different lengths. The measured values corresponded with predicted theoretical values and met the limit values of the tested fibers. The main output of this thesis consists of two laboratory exercises focused on chromatic dispersion and polarization mode dispersion. These laboratory exercise designs include a brief theoretical analysis of the respective dispersion, specify the necessary limit values and characteristics of the dispersions for evaluating correct results, and implement the measurement method setups for both dispersions. Specifically, these are the pulse delay method for chromatic dispersion and the fixed analyzer method for polarization mode dispersion.

Polarization in optical fiber
Bilek, Maroš ; Dejdar, Petr (oponent) ; Münster, Petr (vedoucí práce)
In the theoretical part of the the bachelor's thesis, the first part is devoted to the analysis of the spread of the light beam in the fiber, the parameters of light and various types of fibers. Subsequently, the phenomenon of polarization, its conditions, methods of depiction and writing are described in detail. Furthermore, the issue of polarization mode dispersion (PMD) is explained. Bindings, differential group delay and PMD measurement methods are described. The practical section of the thesis describes the methods and procedures for measuring polarization and polarization mode dispersion. The EXFO FTB-200 measuring platform was used to measure PMD and was equipped with a module for PMD/CD measurement. A polarimeter in combination with a polarization analyzer was used to measure polarization. As part of the long-term measurements, the EXFO FTB-200 measuring instrument was reused in the case of PMD. In the case of polarization measurements, a combination of polarimeter and balance detector was used. Finally, the results of both short- and long-term measurements are displayed. The results of short-term polarization measurements are shown in the form of both, a Poincaré sphere and a polarizing ellipse with a calculated azimuth and ellipticity. Long-term measurements are in the form of graphs that show changes in polarization rotation rate over time. From the displayed results, the dependency of polarization and therefore PMD on the environmental surroundings is concluded.
