Ultra Wide Band over fibre transparent architecture for High Bit-rate Home Networks

Session « short range optical communications systems »International audienceWe numerically and experimentally demonstrate the feasibility of an Ultra Wide Band (UWB) over fiber transparent architecture based on laser direct modulation and using single mode fiber (SMF) for high bit rate home networks

N x N coupler uniformity in a CWDM passive star home network based on multimode fiber: A time-effective calculation method

International audienceOptical fiber is the most appropriate medium able to meet future requirements in terms of capacity and heterogeneity in the home network. The advantages of a passive star architecture associated with wavelength multiplexing have already been reported. For lower-cost issues, multimode fiber would be preferred, but some problems were raised related to poor uniformity of the N £ N multimode coupler when using the usual coarse wavelength division multiplexing sources. An original time-effective method is proposed, based on both simulation and calculation. Many results are provided, giving a better understanding of the behavior of the N £ N coupler when different types of sources are used, also taking into account improvement techniques such as offset launching or mode scrambling

40-Gb/s systems on G.652 fibers: comparison between periodic and all-at-the-end dispersion compensation

In the literature, two system solutions have been proposed to overcome high dispersion problems typical of G.652 fibers at high bit rates (40 Gb/s): they are periodic and all-at-the-end dispersion compensation. We carry out an exhaustive comparison between the two methods that, up to this moment, have been studied separately. In the first part, we introduce a simplified model on strong dispersion management (DM) with intrachannel four-waves mixing (IFWM) and intrachannel cross-phase modulation (IXPM). We then carry out extensive numerical simulations of a complete system in order to verify the results as a function of the input average power and of the input pulsewidth. Finally, we tackle a typical system aspect, i.e., the influence of nonlinear effects on dispersion compensating fibers (DCFs)

Optimisation of in-building optical networks

A single in-building optical fibre network can efficiently deliver wired and wireless services. Point-topoint architectures using POF are attractive for small buildings; for large buildings SMF-based all-optical bus architectures using weighted tap couplers are preferable

Towards a multiservice & multiformat optical home area networks

International audienceWe propose mid and long term visions of optical Home Area Networks. The challenge is not only to increase the network capacity, but also to take into account the heterogeneity of the signals to be conveyed: Ethernet, RF TV and radio signals for wireless-end-connectivity. Two solutions are described: a mid term solution, based on an active star and centered on a multiformat switch, and a long term solution based on a fully transparent infrastructure, associated with optical wavelength multiplexing. These solutions and the corresponding realized setups will be described and compared in terms of performances, flexibility and robustness to future evolutions

A look into the future of in-building networks: roadmapping the fiber invasion

Optical fiber-based in-building network solutions can outperform in the near future copper- and radiobased solutions both regarding performance and costs. POF solutions are maturing, and can already today be cheaper than Cat-5e solutions when ducts are shared with electricity cabling. Advanced signal modulation techniques allow high-capacity services over POF. With their extra features of multi-wavelength transport and routing, fiber solutions offer a higher network throughput and flexibility, and improved sustainability
