In this thesis,an experiment was carried for a point link so as to calculate the fibre length,connection loss as well as to determine the attenuation in the optical fibre.In addition,properties of mutimode fibre (MMF),single mode fibre (SMF),optical sources as well as other optical transmission component were discussed and simulated using an educational optical design suite to determine the Bit Error Rate in the transmission signal.
