Node
Unidirectional Ring
1 Working fiber, 1 protection fiber.
Unidirectional path switched SONET ring(UPSR).
One Hub (Center) node, Many Access (Remote) nodes.
Protection:
1. If Working fiber is lost, protection fiber will loop the
traffic
2. 1+1 path protection where same traffic is sent on both
the working and protection fibers in opposite directions
6 wavelengths, 100Ghz apart, dispersion shifted fiber,
distance 40 km, 622Mb/s .
Optical amplifiers, Multichannel power equalizers.
Demonstration of WDM transmission over disp.shift. fiber,
along with protection mechanisms.

5. ONTC
(Optical Network Technology
Consortium)
Reconfigurable wavelength routing
architecture.
2 interconnected Unidirectional rings.
4 wavelengths, 4 nm apart, SMF, distance of
150km, at 155Mb/s, ATM Traffic.
EDFA after each node to compensate
failures
Each node has 10-dB coupler
Demonstrates the use of an ATM virtual
topology layer over Optical layer,
transparency over data.

Ring
2 fiber ring with OADMs.
Interesting mix of optical switching & electronic
regenerators.
Regenerators provide wavelength converrsion,
retime the signal.
Demux spilitter followed by fiber fabry parot
filter.
Switches - optomechanical switches.
3 nodes, 4 wavelengths, 200GHz apart, SDH
data at 2.5 Gb/s
Line switching for protection.
Electronically regeneration at each node,
increases no. of nodes in cascade.

7.MONETOADM
Local ring network with OADM
interconnected to a long-distance
network via an OXC.
8 wavelenghts, 200Ghz apart, 2.5Gb/s
per wavelength.
Operational issues are handled well
handling , monitoring and
management, being robust against
outages, developing field ready
optical components.
