2 Abstract: The ever-increasing demand for bandwidth poses a serious limitation for the existing telecommunication carrier technology. However, this extraordinary growing demand, coupled with the introduction of dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) fiber optic systems, has sparked a revolution in the optical component and networking industry. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) systems are based on all optical multiplexing (MUX) and demultiplexing (DMUX) technology. The advantage of optics as the only transmission medium has allowed WDM systems to be free from limits of electronic processing speed, such as time division multiplexing (TDM) systems that are widely adopted in our existing electrical-to-optical-to-electrical networks today. Over the short years of WDM deployment, it has already been proven to be one of the most capable technologies in this highly competitive telecommunication market. Performance wise, WDM has already improved from 4 to 128 channel counts, and channel spacing has shrunk from 500GHz to 50GHz. In short, WDM technology can manifold the capacity of our existing networks by transmitting multiple channels simultaneously on a single fiber optic line. This capacity boost has been enabled by the advancement in fiber optic components, arrayed waveguide gratings, and advanced packaging technology. The primary focus of this report is based on my investigation and research on AWG technology in DWDM system, and how AWG works in DWDM system that may realize my dream of media-on-demand some day. Introduction: While the silicon technology is highly saturated in the electronics field, optical engineers and physicists have found a new way to utilize this mature technology that can further enhance today s telecommunication network. These so called planar lightwave circuits (PLCs) are optical waveguides formed on silicon substrate that can be custom designed to incorporate multiple optical signal processing capabilities. The PLC chips, designed for multiplexing (MUX) and demultiplexing (DMUX) of optical signals in DWDM networks, are known as arrayed waveguide gratings (AWGs). In the few years of AWGs introduction, it has already revolutionized the optical telecommunication system; AWGs are the building blocks for even more complicated systems such as variable

3 optical attenuator (VOA), thermo-optic switch, DWDM channel monitor, dynamic gain equalizer, etc. A common AWG module assembly is shown below. Compact in size, highly integrated with essential active and passive components on a single substrate, and its volume manufacturability on a fab that has been well developed thru the years in the semiconductor industry; these strengths and characteristic of AWGs have successfully lead to worldwide recognition and adoption of AWG technology in this rapidly expanding all-optical DWDM networks. An AWG optical chip is composed of an input waveguide, an input slab, array of waveguides, output slab, and output waveguides. All of these are fabricated on a single substrate, forming a PLC. A schematic of an AWG is shown below.

4 Content: The heart of the DWDM system is the optical multiplexing (MUX) and demultiplexing (DMUX) functionality that are embedded in AWGs. AWG s multiplexer is known as wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) and AWG s demultiplexer is known as the wavelength division demultiplexer (WDDM). Optical signals are generated by laser diodes (LDs) in a series of monochromatic wavelengths λ 1, λ 2, λ N, (within a standard wavelength range) and sent through N fiber to a WDM. The WDM then combines these input signals into a polychromatic output signal, a process known as multiplexing. Multiplexing allows access to very large bandwidth that is available in an optical fiber. The multiplexed, polychromatic signal is then launched into a single optical fiber for transportation. At the destination end, WDDM separates the polychromatic signal into individual constituent wavelengths, identified as a series of narrow band channels; this process is known as demultiplexing. A basic concept of a WDM is illustrated in the diagram below.

5 The WDDM is purposely designed such that the center wavelengths among all the channels are the same as the original wavelengths of the system (1310 or 1550 nm). The WDDM channels must also have spectral widths, λ N, that are large enough to accommodate system tolerances, yet small enough to avoid overlapping of the channels. In general, the WDM and the WDDM are spectrogram devices that are not tunable; as a result, the performance of DWDM system depends entirely on the perfection of AWG s design and its silicon-based waveguide fabrication. Depending on the application needs, different types of WDM systems are deployed throughout the network; the list includes point-to-point long distance transmission, local access network, reconfigurable network, etc. Each of these systems needs different WDM components. At the transmitter end, a laser array is used as the signal source that has predetermined wavelength settings with fixed channel parameters. These wavelengths are standardized by the international telecommunication union (ITU) for DWDM network. Other critical components of WDM networks are optical add/drop multiplexers (OADM), optical cross connect switches (OCX), and optical amplifier such as erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs). A basic configuration of a point-to-point transmission system is show below.

6 The ITU has adopted the standard for optical telecommunication that specifies certain standard frequencies be used to identify and specify WDM channels. ITU channels start at THz (channel 0, nm) and increments by 0.10 THz for each subsequent channel. It usually spans over the C-band ( nm). The wavelength, λ, and frequency, ν, of a wave traveling in a medium are related by the following equation: nλν = c, where n is the refractive index of the medium WDMs must be designed such that the center wavelength of each channel coincides with an ITU standard channel. For instance, a 40-channel AWG with 100 GHz spacing used for DWDM application has its center wavelength coincide with the ITU channel 30 ( THz, nm). The channel wavelengths and corresponding ITU frequencies can be calculated from the above equation. The ITU channels frequencies are given by the following equation: ν N = N (THz), N = 0, 1, 2,.

7 Thus, ITU channels are spaced at a frequency of 100 GHz; the operating frequencies are called ITU grid frequencies. The corresponding wavelength spacing is given by the following equation: λ = ( ν 2 ) / c, where c = THz.nm, and ν = 0.1 THz. From the above equation, one can see that λ ~ 0.89 nm, however, it increases slightly with λ ( λ 2 ). WDMs can be designed to operate at ITU grid frequencies as well as their multiples (e.g., 200GHz, 500 GHz, etc.) and sub-multiples (e.g., 50 GHz). The laser outputs are modulated by individual electronic signals, either by direct or external electro-optic method. In long-haul network (which spans over hundreds to thousands of kilometer), optical amplification becomes a necessity because of attenuation losses due to exceedingly long distance transmission. However, the addition of optical amplifiers significantly increases the overall network cost, complicates the network design, and at the same time it can reduce the available channel counts. In long-haul transport, these additional complicacies and cost factors can be justified, while in metro networks this would not be the case. In a metro optical network (typically up to 100 kilometers), it is likely that a traffic channel will transmit through many add/drop locations before reaching its destination. Therefore, equipment related attenuations become a critical factor in DWDM network; in metro s design, a fine balance between fiber and component losses is very critical. If the integrated WDM components such as AWGs are designed efficiently, they can avoid the used of optical amplifiers in the metro design. A simple schematic of optical network is shown below.

8 WDM systems use different wavelengths for different channels. Each channel may transport homogeneous or heterogeneous traffics, such as SONET/SDH (synchronous optical network / synchronous digital hierarchy) over one wavelength, ATM (asynchronous transfer mode) over another, and yet another may be used for TDM voice, video or internet protocol. WDM also make it possible to transfer data at different bit rates. Thus, it offers one channel carrying traffic at OC-3, OC-12, OC-48, OC-192 or up to OC-768 rate, and another channel may carry a different rate transmission. Resulting multiple transmission rates on one single optical fiber. These functions are all accomplished by a MUX at the transmitter end and a DMUX at the receiver end. Conclusions: Although there are several technologies currently deployed to manufacture optical MUX/DMUXes, and while each has its own strength and weaknesses, the search for better performing, cost reducing and more reliable technology is still ongoing. Thus far, AWGs have proven to be the most prominent technology for DWDM network; based on the matured silicon fabrication technique, its ability for custom design to integrate multiple active and passive components, and the functionality of MUX/DMUX on a single substrate.

9 Working as a project manager at Flextronics Photonics, I never had the opportunity to understood the technology side of the optoelectronic products we package for our customer. Specifically PLC devices such as splitters, dynamic-gain-equalizers, and AWGs are common products that I encounter everyday for the past two and half years in the photonics industry. From the investigation of this research project, I have gained valuable knowledge and understanding of DWDM network, use of AWGs to MUX and DMUX multiple signals to enhance higher capacity data transmission on a single optical fiber. The worldwide acceptance of AWG s in DWDM system can manifold the capacity of our existing networks, thus my dream of media-on-demand may realize in the next few years. References: W.A.
