Traditional IP Engineer’s view of Optical Networking
- Grey optics connect buildings/floors
together, a mystery beyond
- Layer 1 demands a different skillset
from Ethernet
- Fiber optic technology has a steep
learning curve
- Traditional Engineers understand IP,
not Transport, hard to find both
skillsets
- Fiber optic networks are costly

What is DWDM
What is WDM – Wavelength Division Multiplexing
Optical (light) signals of different wavelengths do not interfere with
each other on a fiber
Each wavelength represents an independent optical channel

WDM is Agnostic
• Protocol Agnostic—Any-Rate
Ethernet, TDM, Fiber Channel, etc.
• Bit-Rate Agnostic—Each
Wavelength can be different bit-
rates
• Allows Infrastructure Evolution to
meet your needs – i.e. Future
Rates

Attenuation: Optical Budget
Basic Optical Budget = Tx Output Power – Rx Input Sensitivity

MIN TX = -10 dBm MIN RX = -20 dBm

Max Budget = 10 dB

Engineered links usually assume 0.25dB/km or worse for 1550nm transmission


Simply…10dB Budget = 40km
Real Fiber Loss Measurements are preferred (i.e., OTDR, Laser Source/Meter)

Optical Budget is affected by:


➢ Fiber attenuation
➢ Splices
➢ Patch Panels/Connectors
➢ Optical components (filters, amplifiers,
etc.)
➢ Micro and Macro Bends in fiber
➢ Contamination (dirt/oil on connectors)

Reference Slide
Laser Output Power and
Receiver Sensitivity and dBm
• Fiber loss expressed in dB but transmitter/receiver power is expressed in dBm
• This is why both the transmitter output power and the receiver sensitivity is
expressed in dBm:
PowerdBm=10log(PmW/1mW)

dB and dBm are additive, hence the simplification


Examples:
• 2mW is Powerdbm = 10log(2mW/1mW)=3dBm
• 1mW is Powerdbm = 10log(1mW/1mW)=0dBm

dB is decibels and dBm is decibels-milliwatt

Bit 1 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 2

The Optical Pulse tends to Spread as it propagates down the fiber


generating Inter-Symbol-Interference (ISI)
• Total dispersion is a function of the length of fiber and its dispersion factor –
linear value
• Can limit transmission distance for 10G and above wavelengths
• Can be compensated by:
• Using negative dispersion fiber modules (DCM/DCF) - adds losses
• Electronically with Coherent Optics generally at 100G and higher

#CiscoLive BRKOPT-1007 © 2024 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 17
Solution for Lower Speed Signals:
Dispersion Compensating Unit

DCUs use fiber with


chromatic dispersion of
opposite sign/slope and
of suitable length to bring
the average dispersion of
the link close to zero.

#CiscoLive BRKOPT-1007 © 2024 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public 18
Solution for Higher Speed Signals:
Coherent Detection
Direct Detection
• Must correct for impairments in the physical domain (insert DCU’s)
• Forced to live with non-correctable impairments via network design (limit distance,
regenerate, adjust channel spacing)
• Dumb detection (OOK), no Digital Signal Processing, only FEC
DCU DCU DCU
DD DD

Regen
Coherent Detection
• Moves impairment correction from the optical domain into the digital domain
• Allows for digital correction of impairments (powerful DSP) vs. physical correction of
impairments (DCU’s). Adds advanced FEC
• Massive performance improvements over Direct Detection

Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR)
• OSNR is a measure of the ratio of signal level to the level of system noise
• As OSNR decreases, possible errors increase
• OSNR is measured in decibels (dB)
• EDFAs are the source of noise

Signal level dBm) Signal level


OSNR = -----------------
