1. A certain optical fiber has an attenuation of 0.6 dB/km at 1310 nm and 0.3 dB/km at 1550
nm. Suppose the following two optical signals are launched simultaneously into the fiber:
an optical power of 150 µW at 1310 nm and an optical power of 100 µW at 1550 nm. What
are the power level in µW of these two signals at (a) 8 km and (b) 20 km? (Ref. Gerd
Keiser, 4th ed., Prob.3.2).

2. An optical signal at a specific wavelength has lost 55 percent of its power after traversing
7.0 km of fiber. What is the attenuation in dB/km of this fiber? (Ref. Gerd Keiser, 4th ed.,
Prob.3.3).

3. A continuous 40 km-long optical fiber link has a loss of 0.4 dB/km.


a) What is the minimum optical power level that must be launched into the fiber to
maintain an optical power level of 2.0 µW at the receiving end?
b) What is the required input power if the fiber has a loss of 0.6 dB/km?
(Ref. Gerd Keiser, 4th ed., Prob.3.4).

4. An LED operating at 850 nm has a spectral width of 45 nm. What is the pulse spreading in
ns/km due to material dispersion? What is the pulse spreading when a laser diode having a
2 nm spectral width is used (Ref. Gerd Keiser, 4th ed., Prob.3.13a).

5. A double-heterojunction InGaAsP LED emitting at a peak wavelength of 1310 nm has


radiative and nonradiative recombination times of 25 and 90 ns, respectively. The drive
current is 35 mA.
a) Find the internal quantum efficiency and the internal power level.
b) If the refractive index of the light source material is n= 3.5, find the power
emitted from the device.
(Ref. Gerd Keiser, 4th ed., Prob.4.6).

6. (a) A GaAlAs laser diode has a 500 µm cavity length which has an effective absorption
coefficient of 10 cm-1. For uncoated facets the reflectivities are 0.32 at each end. What
is the optical gain at the lasing threshold?
(b) If one end of the laser is coated with a dielectric reflector so that its reflectivity is now
90 percent, what is the optical gain at the lasing threshold? (Ref. Gerd Keiser, 4th ed.,
Prob.4.9).
(Ref. Gerd Keiser, 4th ed., Prob.4.9).

7. A GaAs laser emitting at 800 nm has a 400 µm cavity length with a refractive index n =
3.6. If the gain g exceeds the total loss αt throughout the range 750 nm < λ < 850 nm, how
many modes will exist in the laser? (Ref. Gerd Keiser, 4 th ed., Prob.4.12).

8. A GaAs laser operating at 850nm has a 500 µm length and a refractive index of n = 3.7.
What are the frequency and wavelength spacings? If, at the half-power point, (λ – λ0) =
2 nm, what is the spectral width σ of the gain? (Ref. Gerd Keiser, 4th ed., Example 4.8).
