Agenda • Fibers & Infra • Module Blocks • Transmitter, Receivers, Amplifiers, Filters • Systems • Single channel lasers/receivers • Amplified single channel • C/DWDM • DCM, PMD, FEC • Latest technology • SURFnet’s network
Internal reflection known from 19th century (John Tyndall, 1870) Early fibers with cladding extremely lossy ~1000dB/km (1960) Today fiber loss ~0.2dB/km Optical fiber - Historical perspective Refractive index N1(water) > N2 (air)
Fiber basics • Multi Mode (MM) • Intra office • SX • max 500m • Single Mode (SM) • LX, ZX, C/DWDM 50 - 62µm Core Cladding 5-10µm
Fiber Loss (SM) • Fiber loss is wavelength dependent, minimum is around 1550nm 1310nm 1470nm-1620nm
Fiber plant layout POP Equipment MMR ~4km ~4km Splice Handhole Patching at ODF
Fiber Plant test • Basic paramaters: • - Length • - Loss • - Reflection OTDR (optical time domain reflectometer)
10Gb/s optical transmitter technologies • External Modulation - DM-DFB (Directly Modulated Distributed Feed Back laser) • Cheap, small, low power consumption • Chirped, i.e. different wavelength during “ones” and “zeros” which leads to a wide optical spectrum and associated transmission impairments • Used for short reach transmission {0,1,1,0,1,1,…,0,1,0} DFB • External Modulation - CW-DFB (Continuous Wave DFB laser) and MZ (Mach-Zehnder) combination • Expensive, relatively large, high-power drivers (high power consumption) • Excellent performance • Typically used for DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) {0,1,1,0,1,1,…,0,1,0} DFB Mach-Zehnder LiNbO3 modulator

Traditional optical fiber transmission systems • Combination of transmitter and receiver connected directly to dark fiber • Typical distance is max 100km • 150Mb/s -2.5Gb/s Transmission fiber α (dB/km) Tx Rx PT (dBm) PR (dBm) Transmission distance = (PT-PR) / α (km)
Tx Tx Tx Rx Rx Rx 3R regeneration - OEO Transmitter – Receiver = 3R • Re-amplification • Re-timing • Re-shaping
EDFAs (Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers) • Fiber doped with Er3+ ions be excited by 980nm or 1480nm photons • Spontaneous emission generates noise • Excited state Erbium ions can be stimulated to decay to ground state via stimulated emission by a 1550nm signal Pump laser Outgoing Incoming
Single Channel System with amplifiers Tx Rx OA OA • Pre and Post Amplifiers allow for longer single span Systems upto 240km • 150Mb/s -2.5Gb/s OLA Tx OLA Rx OA OA
Wavelength Division Multiplexing (C/DWDM) • WDM filters, passive device • Muxing coloured wavelength • Spacing between ’s determines the number of channel per fiber • SURFnet’s DWDM supports 72 ’s @ 10Gb/s
