Towards 1 Tbit/s SOA‐based 1310 nm transmission for local area network/data centre applications

OPPORTUNITIES FOR THE OUT OF THE 1550 nm WINDOW TRANSMISSION

“…Further, a single data channel transmission at 112 Gbit/s has been demonstrated in [9]. The polarization and wavelength multiplexing concept has been further expanded towards 1 Tbit/s transmission in [11].…”

Semiconductor optical amplifiers and Raman amplification for 1310-nm dense wavelength division multiplexed transmission

“…local area networks (LAN), metropolitan area networks (MAN) and data/storage centre interconnections, has resulted in a growing caused the growth of interest in the 1310 nm wavelength domain. [1][2][3][4] Moreover, utilisation of this transmission window isfeatures a promising solution for a legacy fibre system capacity upgrade, since it does not require very expensive installation of new fibres and, in addition, the 1310 nm wavelength domain can be used in parallel to the 1550 nm one. The 1310 nm window has the advantages of reduced chromatic dispersion related distortions and a wide availability of components.…”

“…Until recently, the only practical way to extend the reach of the 1310 nm transmission system was the utilisation of the semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs). 1,2 Other solutions like Raman amplifiers and praseodymium doped fibre amplifiers (PDFAs) were not widely implemented because of their high cost and moderate performance were not widely implemented.…”
