Metro Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM)

Metro Dense Wave Division Multiplexing (DWDM) has been touted by its proponents as the future of optical telecommunications in the metro market. But is it? Its proponents have presented it as a natural extension of long haul DWDM into the metro network. But can Metro DWDM be cost justified and, if so, under what conditions? Whether and to what extent the economics of metro DWDM will change over time are other major questions certain to affect materially the acceptance of metro DWDM and thus the market opportunity for manufacturers of metro DWDM equipment. Finally, questions concerning regional variations in the market opportunity for Metro DWDM equipment must be answered.     

DWDM System Components

The hottest word in telecommunications technology is dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM). In this paper, a review of the DWDM component market is presented together with a worldwide forecast over the next 5 years. The most dramatic changes in telecommunications have taken place in the last several years with the advent of DWDM to exploit the potential of unlimited bandwidth on a fiber pair. Originally installed to solve the problem of fiber exhaust in long-distance networks, DWDM is becoming the leading driver to an all-topical network. DWDM is insensitive to bit rate and format and permits a telecommunications network to increase capacity without installing new fiber, and at a decreased cost with much greater flexibility. DWDM places narrowly spaced channels onto the same fiber and increases capacity on existing fiber routes by factors of 16, 32, 40, or more. DWDM has also made it possible for new carriers to enter the market using IP-based rather than circuit-switched networks at considerably lower costs.

Wavelength Division Multiplexing: Not Just for Long Distance Anymore

With the advent of OC-192, the limits of SONET-based networking have become apparent. Routing and regenerating OC-192 signals pose serious demands on telecommunications networks; electronic routing and switching technology simply has not advanced at the pace that optical networking technology has. An "electronic bottleneck" is emerging, creating an opportunity for optical networking vendors and carriers to move forward into the next phase of telecommunications systems. In this paper we review the wavelength division multiplexing market and outline its trend.     

Dynamic bandwidth allocation of both upstream and downstream in Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network

Recently, more and more attention has been paid to the Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network (OFDM-PON). And more importance has been attached to the algorithm achieving dynamic bandwidth allocation (DBA) by researchers. In this paper, an algorithm which aims at achieving multi-granularity DBA based on OFDM-PON is proposed. With the change of bandwidth needs, the number of subcarriers and their modulation formats can be adjusted adaptively. To efficiently utilize the bandwidth, the algorithm introduces a scheme from TDM-PON based on cyclic rotation and polling mechanism. An inner ONU queue is also proposed and multiple subcarrier channels are established in both upstream and downstream. Both simulation and analysis show that the bandwidth utilization of OFDM-PON is efficient.

Gain-Flattened Optical Limiting Amplifier Modules for Wavelength Division Multiplexing Transmission

By integration of a bidirectional erbium-doped fiber amplifier and a three-port optical circulator with several fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs), two gain-flattened optical limiting amplifier (OLA) modules are proposed and experimentally demonstrated.

Performance enhancement of Absolute Polar Duty Cycle Division Multiplexing with Dual-Drive Mach-Zehnder-Modulator in 40 Gbit/s optical fiber communication systems

We modeled and analyzed a method to improve receiver sensitivity of the Absolute Polar Duty Cycle Division Multiplexing (AP-DCDM) transmission system by using Dual-Drive Mach-Zehnder-Modulator (DD-MZM). It is found that by optimizing the bias voltage in DD-MZM, the sensitivity of the AP-DCDM can be improved. The optimizations lead towards the larger eye opening. As opposed to the previous work, in terms of receiver sensitivity and dispersion tolerance, similar performance for all channels was achieved. In comparison to the previously reported AP-DCDM system, this work resulted in almost 3.6 dB improvement of the receiver sensitivity, came together with acceptable chromatic dispersion tolerance.
