Evolution of Fiber Optic
Transmission
In mid 1960’s researchers proposed optical fiber
as suitable transmission medium.
In 1970 , Corning produced the first communic-
ation –grade fibers.
AT& T first standardized transmission at DS3
speed(45Mbps) for multimode fibers.
Thereafter, single mode fibers were shown to be
capable of transmission rates 10 times
that of older type.
In early 1980’s,MCI, followed by Sprint, adopted
single mode fiber for its long distance network in
U.S.
Further developments in fiber optics was tied to use
of the specific regions on the optical spectrum
where attenuation is low.
These regions called windows, lie between
area of high absorption.
Wavelength Regions
What is DWDM?
It transmits multiple data signals using different
wavelengths of light through a single fiber.
Incoming optical signals are assigned to specific
frequencies within a designated frequency band.
The capacity of fiber is increased when these
signals are multiplexed onto one fiber
Transmission capabilities is 4-8 times of TDM
Systems with the help of Erbium doped optical
amplifier.
EDFA’s : increase the optical signal and don’t
have to regenerate signal to boost it strength.
It lengthens the distances of transmission to more
than 300 km before regeneration .
Why DWDM?
Unlimited Transmission Capacity
Transparency
Scalability
Dynamic Provisioning
Is DWDM Flexible?
DWDM is a protocol and bit rate independent
hence, data signals such as ATM, SONET and IP
can be transmitted through same stream
regardless their speed difference.
The signals are never terminated within the
optical layer allows the independence of bit rate
and protocols,allowing DWDM technology to be
integrated with existing equipment in network.
Hence, there’s a flexibility to expand capacity
within any portion of their networks.
Is DWDM Expandable?
“ DWDM technology gives us the ability to
expand out fiber network rapidly to meet growing
demands of our customer”, said Mike Flynn,
group President for ALLTEL’s communications
operations.
DWDM coupled with ATM simplifies the
network, reduce network costs and provide new
services.
They can add current and new TDM systems to
their existing technology to create a system with
virtually endless capacity expansion
