Optical amplification: a) EDFA Multichannel applicationb) Raman amplification a) EDFA: atoms are pumped to a high energy state and then drop to a lower state, releasing their energy when a suitable wavelength photon passes nearby. b) Raman Scattering: nonlinear interaction between the signal and a pump laser within an optical fibre. As light travels down the fiber, energy is coupled from the shorter wavelength channels, boosting the amplitude of the longer wavelength (90 nm shift)
From design to operation • First idea & evaluation of alternatives (MIUs) • The first design & restoring techniques • The survey and implementation design • The power budget & Straight Line Diagram • Quality Assurance program, factory inspections and elements qualification • The manufacturing process and testing • The loading, system integration & monitoring • The laying & monitoring • The final splice & commissioning tests • The service
Restoring and Maintenance • Submarine system as a space satellite • Agreements for deposits of spare parts • Programming restoring and qualifications • Rerouting • Reparation
NEXT ACHIEVEMENTS • Multi-wavelength (up to 64 Coarse and Dense) bi-directional • 3rd windows (1 550 nm) • Bit rate up to 10 Gbit/s per fiber/direction/wavelength • Maximum span length with optical amplifiers up to 150 km, 700 km regeneration span • Maximum capacity 1.2 TBit/s => 5.12 TBit/s
