Introduction • Today’s networks deploy 2.5Gbps and 10Gbps line rates • Networks will migrate to 40Gbps (and in the future to 100Gbps) per wavelength • High demand for transmission capacity • Higher rate client interfaces • Transmission Quality and Connectivity • Challenges associated with 40Gbps and 100Gbps solution: • OSNR requirement increases by 6dB and 10dB respectively • Chromatic dispersion tolerance decreases respectively (1/16-th and 1/100 of 10G system) • Similarly PMD tolerance decreases (1/4- and 1/10th of 10G system) • Significant increase to OADM filtering • Counter-measures • Advanced multi-level modulation formats • Low symbol rate • Tunable/Adaptive CD compensation • Forward error correction (FEC) • Coherent detection • PMD and CD tolerance can be further improved
Intensity Phase (Frequency) Polarization Light Properties to Modulate • Modulate one or more light properties • Intensity modulation (on-off keying): • Widely used modulation technique for up to 10Gbps transmission • Easy to modulate and easy to detect • Phase modulation: • Well known technique but was not used in optical communications • Detection is more difficult compared to on-off keying • Polarization modulation: • Relatively new technique • Detection is difficult

100+ Gbps Transmission Question: How to transport 100GE in DWDM networks? Parallel Serial • Transport on single wavelength • Complex Tx/Rx • Higher spectral efficiency • Higher total transport capacity over a WDM system • Transmission impairments • Transport on multiple wavelengths • Requires synchronization of wavelengths due to differential propagation delay • Manage a band of wavelengths • Simpler Tx/Rx, but low fiber utilization
