Course Overview
Optical fibre communications applications have extended from
single wavelength per fibre technology to multiple wavelength
technology known as wavelength division multiplexing (WDM). As
the number of wavelength per fibre is equal or greater than 8,
the technology is then referred to as dense wavelength division
multiplexing (DWDM), greater than or equal to 40 is very dense
wavelength division multiplexing (VHDWDM) and greater than 1000
is possible with today’s lab technology and goes by different
names.
The course includes:
Discussion of DWDM concept and vision.
The key enabling technologies required
for implementing DWDM (i.e. stable transmitter, suitable fibres,
erbium-doped
optical amplifiers, optical filters and wavelength converter).
The DWDM optical network architecture (static
and
reconfigurable networks) and network applications are included
in the discussion.
Optical layer management (configuration,
performance,
and fault management) is discussed.
Optical networking in the metro and access
networks.
