Optical Link Budgets

Determining the Link Budget will get you the


transmission distance (highly depend on your
fiber loss)
Calculation

Add Laser TX power to Rx Sensitivity of transceiver


Subtract all points of signal loss
Total equals Link Budget
Transmission distance is Link Budget / 0.25 dB
attenuation (std @1550nm) per Km of fiber

When do you need CWDM ?


CWDM is used when you need more bandwidth in
your fiber. A cheap & easy solution could be to use
1300/1500 bidirectional transmissions (access
applications, generally used for video
transmission) but you get limited in distances,
datarate and flexibility.

What is the WDM technology ?


The Wavelength Multiplexing technology allows you to
gather different wavelengths coming from different fibers
into one fiber.
You have then the flexibility to add or drop each
wavelength at some points in the network.
In order to upgrade your system, you need to have
dedicated emitters (lasers) and passive components that will
do the mutliplexing and demultiplexing. Those passive
components do not need power nor electronics and are
totally independant of the transmission protocol.

Difference between CWDM and


DWDM
In order to reduce cost, the standard Coarse WDM has been
developped.
Each wavelength of the CWDM ITU grid has been defined
as being 20nm apart from each other (from 1270nm to
1610nm) compared to the Dense WDM grid which states
wavelength spacing of 0.4nm (50Ghz), 0.8nm (100Ghz)
and 1.6nm (200Ghz) (from 1525 to 1615nm).
The cost saving is both in the laser and the passive
components, plus in the management.
10

CWDM to DWDM Comparisons


Cost
CWDM 70% to 50% less than DWDM for the
components
3 to 5 times cheaper at the system management level

Standard applications
CWDM: Metro Access, Enterprise
DWDM: Metro Core, Metro Access (SONET)

CWDM Q & A
1.

What is WDM ?
Ans: (1) CWDM:Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexer
= 20 nm spacing, 4 ~8 Channel
(2) DWDM:Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexer
< 0,8 nm spacing, 8 Channels and above.

2.

How many types of CWDM transmitting architecture exist ?


Ans: (1) Bi-Directional (both directions in one fiber)
(2) Uni-Directional (one direction per fiber)

3.

What wavelengths are usually applied in CWDM solution?


Ans: (1) 4 Channel:1510,1530,1550,1570 nm
(2) 8 Channel:1470,1490,1510,1530,1550,1570,1590,1610 nm

12

4.

How does CWDM apply in Network Hierarchy ?


Ans: From Metro network to Access end.

5.

What is difference between CWDM DFB and DFB Laser (DWDM)?


Ans: The requirement of temperature wavelength drift is different.
For normal CWDM, the temperature wavelength drift is
between -6 ~ 7.5 nm (uncooled DFB lasers instead of cooled ones)
ex : 1510 nm , operation temperature 0 ~ 70
In the case of 0 , temperature wavelength drift is 1510+(-6)=1504 nm
In the case of 70 , temperature wavelength drift is 1510+7.5=1517.5 nm
13

6.

What is the operating temperature of CWDM?


Ans: 0 ~ 70

7. What is the production process of CWDM Passive components ?


Ans: (1) Fusion
(2) Thin Film Filter
8. What is the difference between MUX and DeMUX?
Ans: MUX: Optical passive component that combines wavelengths
traveling on separate fibers into single fiber.
DeMUX : Optical passive component that separates different
wavelength from single fiber and routes them into different fibers.

How to implement them into your


legacy network?
It could not be simpler :
Just replace your standard product with a CWDM
(colored) GBIC or laser.
Connect each one of them to the passive box .
Repeat this operation on the other side of the line for the
demux.
Done.
