DWDM

DWDM (Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing) allows transmission of multiple optical carrier signals on a single optical fiber by using different wavelengths (colors) of laser light to carry different signals. It increases fiber capacity and network bandwidth. DWDM works by combining and transmitting multiple signals simultaneously on the same fiber optic strand. This results in greater telecommunication bandwidth and bandwidth per transceiver. Key DWDM components include laser transmitters, receivers, EDFA amplifiers, OADM for add/drop multiplexing, and MUX/DEMUX multiplexers and demultiplexers. DWDM provides benefits like increased bandwidth, compatibility with legacy systems, and lower long-term costs.

MULTIPLEXING
WHY DWDM
 One of the major issues in the networking industry today

is tremendous demand for more and more bandwidth.


 The existing SDH network is best suited for voice
traffic rather than today‘s high-speed data traffic.
Based on the SDH hierarchy, the next incremental step
from 10 Gbps TDM is 40 Gbps.
 A key advantage to DWDM is that it's protocol and bit rate-
independent.
 DWDM-based networks can transmit data in SDH, IP, ATM
and Ethernet etc .
 Currently, because of DWDM, single fibers have been able to
transmit data at speeds up to 400Gb/s.
DWDM SYSTEM FUNCTION

 Dense wavelength division multiplexing systems allow many


discrete transports channels by combining and transmitting multiple
signals simultaneously at different wavelengths .

 For example by multiplexing 32 STM-16 signals into one fiber,


we can increase the carrying capacity of that fiber from 2.5 Gb/s to
80 Gb/s.
DWDM HISTORY
DWDM BLOCK DIAGRAM
COMPONENTS OF DWDM
 LASER Transmitters
 Highly Sensitive Receivers
 EDFA(Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier)
 OADM
 MUX
 DEMUX
 Optical wave-length add/drop (OADM) offers that capability, where
wavelengths are added or dropped to or from a fiber, without requiring a
SDH terminal.

 In the 1530- to 1565-nm range, silica-based optical amplifiers with filters


and fluoride-based optical amplifiers perform equally well. However,
fluoride-based optical amplifiers are intrinsically more costly to implement.

 In line amplifiers (ILA) are placed at different distances from the source to
provide recovery of the signal before it is degraded by loss.

 EDFA (Eribium Doped Fiber Amplifier) is the most popular amplifier.


DWDM WINDOWS
Conventional Band
1530 to 1565 nm.

L (Long) Band
1565 to 1620 nm.
TYPES OF WDM
 Coarse WDM (CWDM)
Uses 20 nm ( 3000 GHZ) Spacing.
Up to 18 channels.
 Dense WDM (DWDM)
Uses 200, 100, 50 or 25 GHz spacing.
Up to 128 or more channels.
Distance of several thound kilometres with
Amplification and regeneration.
BENEFITS OF DWDM
 Increases bandwidth (speed and distance)

 Does not require replacement or upgrade their existing


legacy systems

Provides "next generation" technologies to meet growing data


needs

 Less costly in the long run because increased fiber capacity is


automatically available; don't have to upgrade all the time
