Optical Network Link Budgets EE 548 Spring 2005
Link budget considerations • Laser power • Laser line width • Link losses • Bit rate • Detector sensitivity
Impairments • Connector and splice losses • Fiber attenuation • Polarization mode dispersion (PMD) • Chromatic dispersion • Filter losses • Splitter losses • Isolator losses
Long haul (LH) Amplifier spacing: 80-120 km Regenerator spacing: 400-600 km Capacity: 80x10Gb/s Cost: $$ Ultra long haul (ULH) Amplifier spacing: 80-120 km Regenerator spacing: 2500-4000 km Capacity: 56x10Gb/s Cost: $$$ Long haul versus ultra long haul WDM systems
