Question

Suppose you have the following optical network:

- There are six connector or splice joints between the end to end points, with a loss of 0.04 dB each - The fiber has a 0.4 dB/km attenuation.
- Each optical splitter has 1.5 dB insertion loss on top of the power splitting loss.
a) What is the insertion loss of each splitter? (1 Marks)
b) What is the total loss between point A to point B, C, D and E? (2 Marks)
c) Would this loss change if the operating wavelength is increased, why? (1 Mark)

show workout to how to each part was solved.
