1 WDM Concept and Components EE 8114 Course Notes

2 Part 1: WDM Concept

3 Evolution of the Technology

4 Why WDM? Capacity upgrade of existing fiber networks (without adding fibers) Transparency:Each optical channel can carry any transmission format (different asynchronous bit rates, analog or digital) Scalability Buy and install equipment for additional demand as needed Wavelength routing and switching: Wavelength is used as another dimension to time and space

5 Wavelength Division Multiplexing Each wavelength is like a separate channel (fiber)

6 TDM Vs WDM Ex: SONET

7 Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive/active devices are needed to combine, distribute, isolate and amplify optical power at different wavelengths

8 WDM, CWDM and DWDM WDM technology uses multiple wavelengths to transmit information over a single fiber Coarse WDM (CWDM) has wider channel spacing (20 nm) low cost Dense WDM (DWDM) has dense channel spacing (0.8 nm) which allows simultaneous transmission of 16+ wavelengths high capacity

9 WDM and DWDM First WDM networks used just two wavelengths,1310 nm and1550 nm Today's DWDM systems utilize 16, 32,64,128 or more wavelengths in the 1550 nm window Each of these wavelength provide an independent channel (Ex: each may transmit 10 Gb/s digital or SCMA analog) The range of standardized channel grids includes 50, 100, 200 and 1000 GHz spacing Wavelength spacing practically depends on: laser linewidth optical filter bandwidth

10 ITU-T Standard Transmission DWDM windows c ν = 2 λ λ

11 Principles of DWDM BW of a modulated laser: MHz nm Typical Guard band: nm 80 nm or14 nm band 120 nm or nm Discrete wavelengths form individual channels that can be modulated, routed and switched individually These operations require variety of passive and active devices ν = c λ 2 λ Ex. 10.1

12 Nortel OPTERA 640 System 64 wavelengths each carrying 10 Gb/s

13

14 DWDM Limitations Theoretically large number of channels can be packed in a fiber For physical realization of DWDM networks we need precise wavelength selective devices Optical amplifiers are imperative to provide long transmission distances without repeaters

15 Part II: WDM Devices

16 Key Components for WDM Passive Optical Components Wavelength Selective Splitters Wavelength Selective Couplers Active Optical Components Tunable Optical Filter Tunable Source Optical amplifier Add-drop Multiplexer and De-multiplexer

17 Photo detector Responsivity Photo detectors are sensitive over wide spectrum (600 nm). Hence, narrow optical filters needed to separate channels before the detection in DWDM systems

18 Passive Devices These operate completely in the optical domain (no O/E conversion) and does not need electrical power Split/combine light stream Ex: N X Ncouplers, power splitters, power taps and star couplers Technologies: -Fiber based or Optical waveguides based Micro (Nano) optics based Fabricated using optical fiber or waveguide (with special material like InP, LiNbO 3 )

19 Filter, Multiplexer and Router

20 Basic Star Coupler May have Ninputs and Moutputs Can be wavelength selective/nonselective Up to N =M = 64, typically N, M < 10

21 Fused-Biconical coupler OR Directional coupler P3, P4extremely low ( -70 db below Po) Coupling / Splitting Ratio = P2/(P1+P2) If P 1 =P 2 It is called 3-dB coupler

22 Fused Biconical Tapered Coupler Fabricated by twisting together, melting and pulling together two single mode fibers They get fused together over length W; tapered section of length L; total draw length = L+W Significant decrease in V-number in the coupling region; energy in the core leak out and gradually couples into the second fibre

23 Definitions Splitting (Coupling) Rat i o = P ( P+ P ) Excess Lo ss =10 Log[ P ( P+ P )] Insertion Loss =10 Log[ P P ] in out Crosstalk = 10 Log( P P ) Try Ex

24 P 1= P0 z cos 2 ( κ ) P 2 = P0 z sin 2 ( κ ) Coupler characteristics κ: Coupling Coefficient

25 Coupler Characteristics power ratio between both output can be changed by adjusting the draw length of a simple fused fiber coupler It can be made a WDM de-multiplexer: Example, 1300 nm will appear output 2 (p2) and 1550 nm will appear at output 1 (P1) However, suitable only for few wavelengths that are far apart, not good for DWDM

26 Wavelength Selective Devices These perform their operation on the incoming optical signal as a function of the wavelength Examples: Wavelength add/drop multiplexers Wavelength selective optical combiners/splitters Wavelength selective switches and routers

27 Fused-Fiber Star Coupler Splitting Loss = -10 Log(1/N) db = 10 Log (N) db Excess Loss = 10 Log (Total P in /Total P out ) Fused couplers have high excess loss

28 8x8 bi-directional star coupler by cascading 3 stages of 3-dB Couplers λ 1, λ 2 λ 1, λ 2 λ 5, λ 6 λ 1, λ 2 λ 3, λ 4 λ 7, λ 8 Number of 3-dB Couplers N = N log N c 2 2 (12 = 4 X 3) Try Ex. 10.5

29 Fiber Bragg Grating

30 Fiber Bragg Grating This is invented at Communication Research Center, Ottawa, Canada The FBG has changed the way optical filtering is done The FBG has so many applications The FBG changes a single mode fiber (all pass filter) into a wavelength selective filter

31 Fiber Brag Grating (FBG) Basic FBG is an in-fiber passive optical band reject filter FBG is created by imprinting a periodic perturbation in the fiber core The spacing between two adjacent slits is called the pitch Grating play an important role in: Wavelength filtering Dispersion compensation Optical sensing EDFA Gain flattening Single mode lasers and many more areas

32 Bragg Grating formation 2Λ sin( / 2) θ =λ uv

33 FBG Theory Exposure to the high intensity UV radiation changes the fiber core n(z)permanently as a periodic function of z n core δ π ( z) = n + n[1+ cos(2 z / Λ)] z: Distance measured along fiber core axis : Pitch of the grating n core : Core refractive index δn: Peak refractive index

34 Reflection at FBG

35 Simple De-multiplexing Function Reflected Wavelength λ = 2Λn Peak ReflectivityR max = tanh 2 (kl) B eff

36 Wavelength Selective DEMUX

37 Dispersion Compensation Longer wavelengths take more time Reverse the operation of dispersive fiber Shorter wavelengths take more time

38 ADD/DROP MUX FBG Reflects in both directions; it is bidirectional

39 Extended Add/Drop Mux

40 FBG for DFB Laser Only one wavelength gets positive feedback single mode Distributed Feed Back laser

41 Advanced Grating Profiles

42 FBG Properties Advantages Easy to manufacture, low cost, ease of coupling Minimal insertion losses approx. 0.1 db or less Passive devices Disadvantages Sensitive to temperature and strain. Any change in temperature or strain in a FBG causes the grating period and/or the effective refractive index to change, which causes the Bragg wavelength to change. neff = neff T T neff + σ σ

43 Unique Application of FBG

44 Resonance Cavity with FBG

45 Transmission Characteristics

46 Experimental Set-Up

47 What is the wavelength separation when RF separation 50 MHz?

48 Interferometers

49 Interferometer An interferometric device uses 2 interfering paths of different lengths to resolve wavelengths Typical configuration: two 3-dB directional couplers connected with 2 paths having different lengths Applications: wideband filters (coarse WDM) that separate signals at1300 nm from those at 1550 nm narrowband filters: filter bandwidth depends on the number of cascades (i.e. the number of 3-dB couplers connected)

50 Basic Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Phase shift of the propagating wave increases with L, Constructive or destructive interference depending on L

51 Mach-Zehnder Interferometer Phase shift at the output due to the propagation path length difference: 2π neff φ = L λ If the power from both inputs (at different wavelengths) to be added at output port 2, then, Try Ex π = 2πneff L λ1 λ2

52 Four-Channel Wavelength Multiplexer By appropriately selecting ΔL, wavelength multiplexing/de-multiplexing can be achieved

53 MZI-Demux Example

54 Arrayed Wave Guide Filters Each waveguide has slightly different length

55 Phase Array Based WDM Devices The arrayed waveguide is a generalization of 2x2 MZI multiplexer The lengths of adjacent waveguides differ by a constant L Different wavelengths get multiplexed (multi-inputs one output) or de-multiplexed (one input multi output) For wavelength routing applications multiinput multi-output routers are available

56 Diffraction Gratings source impinges on a diffraction grating,each wavelength is diffracted at a different angle Using a lens, these wavelengths can be focused onto individual fibers. Less channel isolation between closely spaced wavelengths.

57 Generating Multiple Wavelength for WDM Networks Discrete DFB lasers Straight forward stable sources, but expensive Wavelength tunable DFB lasers Multi-wavelength laser array Integrated on the same substrate Multiple quantum wells for better optical and carrier confinement Spectral slicing LED source and comb filters

58 Discrete Single-Wavelength Lasers Number of lasers into simple power coupler; each emit one fixed wavelength Expensive (multiple lasers) Sources must be carefully controlled to avoid wavelength drift

59 Frequency Tuneable Laser Only one (DFB or DBR) laser that has grating filter in the lasing cavity Wavelength is tuned by either changing the temperature of the grating (0.1 nm/oc) Or by altering the injection current into the passive section (0.006 nm/ma) The tuning range decreases with the optical output power

60 Tunable Laser Characteristics Typically, tuning range nm, Channel spacing = 10 X Channel width

61 Tunable Filters Tunable filters are made by at least one branch of an interferometric filter has its Propagation length or Refractive index altered by a control mechanism When these parameters change, phase of the propagating light wave changes (as a function of wavelength) Hence, intensity of the added signal changes (as a function of wavelength) As a result, wavelength selectivity is achieved

62 Tunable Optical Filters

63 Tuneable Filter Considerations Tuning Range (Δν): 25 THz (or 200nm) for the whole 1330 nm to 1500 nm. With EDFA normally Δλ = 35 nm centered at 1550 nm Channel Spacing (δν): the min. separation between channels selected to minimize crosstalk (30 db or better) Maximum Number of Channels (N = Δν/δν): Tuning speed:depends on how fast switching needs to be done (usually milliseconds)

64 Issues in WDM Networks Nonlinear inelastic scattering processes due to interactions between light and molecular or acoustic vibrations in the fibre Stimulated Raman Scattering (SRS) Stimulated Brillouin Scattering (SBS) Nonlinear variations in the refractive index due to varying light intensity Self Phase Modulation (SPM) Cross Phase Modulation (XPM) Four Wave Mixing (FWM)

65

66 Summary DWDM plays an important role in high capacity optical networks Theoretically enormous capacity is possible Practically wavelength selective (optical signal processing) components and nonlinear effects limit the performance Passive signal processing elements like FBG, AWG are attractive Optical amplifications is imperative to realize DWDM networks
