  2. Time Division Multiplexing (TDM) • Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) • TDM divides a high-bandwidth transmitted signal into time slots. Each time slot carries a different low-bandwidth signal. • In WDM, several high-bandwidth signals travel on the same fiber, in the same time, each using a different light wavelength. • DWDM uses the same principles as a WDM, but with high density of light wavelength alocation. • A common application of multiplexing is in long-distance data and voice communications.

  4. Principles of Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)

  5. WDM System Components • A couplercombiner, and a splitter, • Couplers are bi-directional devices; Wavelength Independent Wavelength Dependent

  6. Wavelength-Independent Coupler

  7. Input power = 1 mWSplitting ratio of each coupler = 9:1Excess loss of each coupler = 0.3 dB Insertion loss of each connector = 0.2 dB The input power is 1 mW, so we can express the power as zero decibel milliwatts (0 dBm). The incoming power level to first splitter is reduced by 0.2 dB by the first connector, and 0.3 dB by the excess loss. At the first splitter, we have total power of -0.5 dBm, or:

  8. Construction of a Wavelength Independent Coupler

  9. Wavelength-Dependent Couplers (Multiplexer / Demultiplexer)

  10. (8.5)

  11. WDM Communication System (8.6)

  12. Several modulated laser sources, one for each optical channel. • A Distributed Feedback (DFB) laser is the best source for a DWDM system, narrow bandwidth, (less than 0.4 nm). Modulation • Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA), An optical demultiplexer to separate each signal at its destination. • Suitable detectors for each signal to extract the information in that. • A DWDM system can be designed with 41 channels in the range of 1528 nm to 1561 nm. DWDM can increase the capacity of a single fiber to as much as several hundred gigabits per second. This is the same capacity as several thousand 100Base-T Ethernet cables.

  13. Excited erbium atoms at high energy level Longer-wavelength Source (1480 nm) -1 mks Atoms at metastable energy (-10 ms) Short-wavelength Source (980 nm) Stimulated Emission 1520-1620 nm Erbium atoms at low energy level
