Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

SDM increases the transmission capacity linearly by adding the number of optical

fibers, and the transmission equipment will be increased linearly, too.

� TDM keeps the same transmission medium but increases the bit rate. The

equipment is getting more and more complicated and expensive. Additionally, the

maximum transported capability over a fiber pair is in the range of a few 10Gbps.

� The way to scale to higher transported capacity is WDM. This technology keeps the

same fiber, the same bit rate, but uses multiple colours to multiply transported

capacity.

�WDM is widely used in the national and metro backbone transmission systems.

transmission of signals in one direction while the other implements the transmission

of the signals in the opposite direction.

Bi-directional wave WDM system utilizes only one optical fiber. The single fiber

transmits optical signals in both directions simultaneously, and the signals in the

different directions should be assigned on different wavelengths.

�Note:

� To MUX/DEMUX the signals in one fiber, circulator is recommended.

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

Integrated system does not adopt the wavelength conversion technology, instead,

it requires that the wavelength of the optical signals at the multiplex terminal

conforms to the specifications for the WDM system.

� The optical interface in the client equipment that could provide standard

this function.

�An optical fiber consists of two different types of solid glass—the core and

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

An optical fiber consists of two different types of solid glass—the core and

cladding—that are mixed with specific elements to adjust their refractive indices.

The difference between the refractive indices of the two materials causes most of

the transmitted light to bounce off the cladding and stay within the core. The

critical angle requirement is met by controlling the angle at which the light is

injected into the fiber. Two or more layers of protective coating around the

cladding ensure that the glass can be handled without damage.

0.17~0.25dB/km (1550nm), respectively. As defined in ITU-T Recommendation

G.652, the attenuation constant at 1310nm and 1550nm should be less than

0.5dB/km and 0.4dB/km, respectively.

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

Dispersion in fiber refers to a physical phenomenon of signal distortion caused

when various modes carrying signal energy or different frequencies of the signal

have different group velocity and disperse from each other during propagation.

�G.652 fiber is currently a single mode fiber for widely use, called 1310nm property

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

G.652 fiber is currently a single mode fiber for widely use, called 1310nm property

optimal single mode fiber and also called dispersion unshifted fiber.

�G.653 fiber is called dispersion shifted fiber or 1550nm property optimal fiber. By

designing the refractive index cross section, the zero dispersion point of this kind of

fiber is shifted to the 1550nm window to match the minimum attenuation window.

This makes it possible to implement ultrahigh speed and ultra long distance optical

transmission.

�G.655 fiber, a nonzero dispersion shifted single mode optical fiber, is similar to

G.653 fiber and preserves certain dispersion near 1550nm to avoid four-wave

mixing phenomenon in DWDM transmission. It is suitable for DWDM system

applications.

�Output laser is controlled by input current. The variation of the modulation current

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

Output laser is controlled by input current. The variation of the modulation current

causes the variation of output wavelength.

� This variation, called modulation chirp, is actually a kind of wavelength (frequency)

jitter inevitable for direct modulation of the sources. The chirp broadens the

bandwidth of the emitting spectrum of the laser, deteriorates its spectrum

characteristics and limits the transmission rate and distance of the system.

� Transmission rate is limited to 2.5Gbit/s, and transmission distance is less than

100km.

� Similar Specification –This kind of modulator is Widely used in CWDM system.

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

EA modulator adopts different structure, use stable DC current to let LD output a

standard wavelength (complied with ITU-T). EA module act as a door that open

only happens to the current change. In this way, the information is modulated into

the wavelength.

� Less chirp = Support long haul transmission (2.5Gb/s > 600km)

�High Dispersion tolerance (2.5Gb/s: 7200~12800ps/nm)

�Most widely used in DWDM

Page 30: WDM Principle

WDM Principle

� This modulator separates the light input into two equal signals which enter the two

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

optical branches of the modulator respectively. These two optical branches employ

an electro-optical material whose refractive index changes with the magnitude of

the external electrical signal applied to it. Changes of the refractive index of the

optical branches will result in the change variation of the signal phases. Hence,

when the signals from the two branches recombine at the output end, the

combined optical signal is an interference signal with varying intensity. With this

method, the frequency chirp of the separated external modulated laser can be

equal to zero.

� Long dispersion limited distance

�High cost with good performance

�Negligible chirp

�Not widely used.

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

Principle:

� The outer electrons of Er ions have 3 energy levels, where E1 is the basic

state energy level, E2 is the metastable state energy level and E3 is the high

energy level.

�When high-energy pump lasers are used to excite the EDF, lots of bound

electrons of the erbium ions are excited from E1 to E3 level, then soon

dropped to the E2 level via a non-radiation decay process (i.e. no photon but

heat is released).

�When a signal with the wavelength of 1550nm passes through this erbium-

doped fiber, particles in the metastable state are transited to the basic state

via stimulated radiation and generate photons identical to those in the

incident signal light.

� Principle:

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

Principle:

Fiber has wide SRS gain spectrum and a wide gain peak around a frequency 13THz

lower than that of the pumping light. If a weak signal and a strong pumping light

wave are transmitted through the fiber at the same time, and the wavelength of

the weak signal is set within the Raman gain bandwidth of the strong pumping

light, the weak signal can be amplified. Such SRS-based OA is call Raman optical

amplifier. Raman optical amplifier’s gain is the switch gain, that is, the difference

between the output power when the amplifier is on and that when the amplifier is

off.

Page 38: WDM Principle

WDM Principle

�Advantage:

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

Advantage:

� The gain wavelength is determined by the pumping light wavelength.

� The gain medium is the transmission fiber itself, low noise.

� As the amplification is distributed along the fiber with the comparatively low

signal power, it reduces the interference from non-linear effect, especially

FWM effect.

�Disadvantage:

�High power is harmful for body.

�Be careful when put operation on Raman.

Confidential Information of Huawei. No Spreading Without Permission

The waveguides are connected to cavities at the input and output. When the light

enters the input cavity, it is diffracted and enters the waveguide array. There the

optical length difference of each waveguide introduces phase delays in the output

cavity, where an array of fibers is coupled. The process results in different

wavelengths having maximal interference at different locations, which correspond

to the output ports.
