le télégraphe optique • First real purpose built optical communication device • L'invention de : Claude Chappe -1791 TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
National Optical Network TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
Performance • 1794 - 230 km between Paris and Lille • By 1850 network grew to 556 stations covering 5000 km • 20 to 30 seconds per symbol per station in good weather conditions: More than 1 hour the characters on this slide TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
Electric Replaces Optical • 1816 Francis Ronalds • 8 miles of Iron wires • 1855 Giovanni Caselli • telegraph line between Paris and Lyon TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
1876 - Telecommunications goes analogue TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
Analogue Signals Attenuation Output Source Noise TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
Analogue over copper • Copper wire has narrow bandwidth • Insufficient for backbones/long haul at high speed TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
Sending Digital Signals Power Volts 1 1 1 1 10mW 5 0 0 0 0 0mW 0 time time Coaxial cable TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
Digital over Analogue • 1950’s US Defence • 1958 - DARPAnet • 1962 – Bell 103 modem • 300 bits per second (about 40 characters per second) TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
The move to optical transmission • 1975 – Bell – 14 Km of waveguide in New Jersey, US • 1977 – Bell – live telephony in Chicago • 1977 – BT, UK live telephony • 1986 – Fibre link across English channel • 1988 – TAT-8 First Transatlantic Fibre • 280 Mbps and retired in 2002 (14 years) TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
Fibre Transmission TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
Fibre Optic Cables TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
Transmission • Chromatic Dispersion • Phase Dispersion • Attenuation TF-PR, Paris, September 2006
