Introduction to DWDM

Duration: 2 hours

THE MARKET

  • Dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) and differentiation from both time division multi-plexing and wave division multiplexing
  • Principal bandwidth drivers creating the need for DWDM in the network
  • DWDM cost and performance vs. deployment of new fiber

FIBER OPTIC TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

  • Fiber optic systems concentration on the 1310 and 1550 nanometer wavelengths
  • Dispersion shifted and dispersion flattened fiber
  • Lasers vs. fiber amplifiers with regard to spectral bandwidth
  • Electro-optical cross-connect construction
  • Tuning lasers to a specific wavelength
  • Key components and functions of Bragg grating filters

DWDM TECHNOLOGY OVERVIEW

  • DWDM system elements
  • Feasibility of bidirectional DWDM systems
  • Optical ADM structure and function
  • Standards in building interoperable DWDM systems
  • Effects that limit DWDM transmission distances and speeds, and procedures that can minimize their impact
  • Alternative protocol "stacks" that reside "on top of " DWDM

ARCHITECTURES

  • Wavelength grooming in assuring the penetration of DWDM into the network
  • DWDM configurations in long-haul and local network environments
