Laser Output Power and
Receiver Sensitivity and dBm
• Fiber loss expressed in dB but transmitter/receiver power is expressed in dBm
• This is why both the transmitter output power and the receiver sensitivity is
expressed in dBm:
PowerdBm=10log(PmW/1mW)
dB and dBm are additive, hence the simplification
Example:
• Powerdbm = 10log(2mW/1mW)=3dBm
• Powerdbm = 10log(1mW/1mW)=0dBm

 Gain expressed by ratio: Pout/Pin
 Gain measured conveniently in dB: 10 log10 Pout/Pin
 If the power is doubled by an amplifier, this is +3 dB

Attenuation: Optical Budget
Optical Budget is affected by:
• Fiber attenuation
• Splices
• Patch Panels/Connectors
• Optical components (filters, amplifiers, etc.)
• Bends in fiber
• Contamination (dirt/oil on connectors)
Basic Optical Budget = Tx Output Power – Rx Input Sensitivity
Pout = +6 dBm R = -30 dBm
Budget = 36 dB

Chromatic Dispersion (CD)
• Total dispersion is a function of the length of fiber and it’s dispersion factor
• Limits transmission distance for 10G and above wavelengths
• Can be compensated by using negative dispersion fiber or electronically through
modulation schemes
Bit 1 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 2Bit 1 Bit 2Bit 1 Bit 2 Bit 1 Bit 2
The Optical Pulse tends to Spread as it propagates down the fiber
generating Inter-Symbol-Interference (ISI)

DCUs use fiber with
chromatic dispersion of
opposite sign/slope and of
suitable length to bring the
average dispersion of the
link close to zero.

Optical Signal-to-Noise Ratio (OSNR)
• OSNR is a measure of the ratio of signal level to the level of system noise
• As OSNR decreases, possible errors increase
• OSNR is measured in decibels (dB)
• EDFAs are the source of noise

Optical Signal Detection
• Across a fiber span, optical signals encounter attenuation, dispersion and
increased noise levels at amplifiers.
• Each of these factors causes bit detection errors at the receiver.

OSNR Solution #2: Forward Error Correction
• FEC extends reach and design
flexibility, at “silicon cost”
• G.709 (G.709 Annex A) standard
improves
OSNR tolerance by 6.2 dB (at 10–15
BER)
• Offers intrinsic performance
monitoring (error statistics)
• Higher gains (8.4dB) possible by
enhanced FEC (with same G.709
overhead – G.975.1 I.4)
• New SD-FEC provides 2dB more
coding gain
Benefit: FEC/EFEC Extends Reach and Offers 10–15 BER

Why Per-Channel Optical Power Equalization
• For amplifiers to operate correctly, all channels must be equalized in power.
• If channel powers are not equal, more gain will go to the higher powered channels.
• Channel power is inherently unequal due to different insertion losses, different
paths (add path vs. express/pass-through), etc.
• Controlling the optical power of each channel in an optical network is required.

100G and Beyond – Coherent Detection
Direct Detection
• Must correct for impairments in the physical domain (insert DCU’s)
• Forced to live with non-correctable impairments via network design (limit
distance, regenerate, adjust channel spacing)
• Dumb detection (OOK), no Digital Signal Processing, only FEC
Coherent Detection
• Moves impairment correction from the optical domain into the digital domain
• Allows for digital correction of impairments (powerful DSP) vs. physical correction of
impairments (DCU’s). Adds advanced FEC.
• Massive performance improvements over Direct Detection.

FLOW – Flexible Lightwave Orchestration of
Wavelengths(Flex Grid)
Media-Channel: Continuous spectrum allocated
from Source to Destination
Super-Channel: set of homogeneous optical
carrier(s) of the same type
Carrier: Optical Channel carrying a portion or all
of the client payload
By default one MCH shall be associated to each
SCH
Each MCH can be switched/routed independently
• The MCH has the information on Optical BW
allocated and the Path along the network
• The SCH has information on the channels
contained, and all the optical data
• Several MCHs can be aggregated to form a
MCH-GROUP.
• MCH-GROUP has the same Src/Dest/Path

Adding Flexibility
© 2017 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
ROADM brought flexibility to DWDM networks.
Any wavelength. Anywhere.
But it was static flexibility.
Moves and changes required a truck roll.

… because ROADM ports were
colored and directional.
Colored Add/Drop
Fixed port frequency assignment
One unique frequency per port
Directional Add/Drop
Physical add/drop port is tied to a
ROADM “degree”
Due to these restrictions, a change in direction or frequency of an optical circuit
required a physical change (move interface to different port) at the endpoints.
BRKOPT-2106 58
© 2017 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public
Colorless Add/Drop
No port-frequency assignment
Any frequency, any port
With Colorless plus Omni-Directional, the frequency and direction of the signal
can be changed, without requiring a change of ROADM add/drop port, therefore
no truckrolls, and hence…programmability!
Omni-Directional Add/Drop
Add/Drop ports can be routed
to/from any ROADM degree
Colorless and Omni-directional add/drop bring
touchless flexibility, and hence programmability, to
ROADM networks.

Directional Add/Drop ROADMs
form a Contentionless node by
definition.
With Contentionless, N instances of a given wavelength (where N = the number
of line degrees in the ROADM node) can be add/dropped from a single device,
eliminating any restrictions on dynamic wavelength provisioning.
Contentionless add/drop allows
multiple instances of the same
frequency to A/D from one unit.
But…Colorless and Omni-directional introduce
wavelength contention at the add/drop stage. Need
a Contentionless architecture.

Transmitter can tune its laser’s
frequency to any channel in the
ITU grid.
Tunable lasers work with colorless add/drop to enable touchless changes in the
frequency of an optical signal. Coherent receivers simplify the construction of
colorless and omni-directional ROADM nodes, by eliminating the need to de-
multiplex a signal down to the individual wavelength.
Receiver can select any channel
from of a composite (unfiltered)
signal.
Tunable lasers and coherent receivers are also key
enablers of the touchless programmable optical layer.

But this touchless capability is of limited use without
intelligence.
Intelligence to find an optically feasible
route through the network.
The WSON Control Plane combines
GMPLS signaling with knowledge of
optical interface requirements and
channel impairments.

Embedded Optical
Intelligence
WSON enables automated, constraint-
based zero-planning wavelength setup,
which in turn enables advanced optical
layer features such as Optical Restoration.

Colored Add/Drop Fixed port frequency assignment One unique frequency per port Directional Add/Drop Physical add/drop port is tied to a ROADM “degree” Due to these restrictions, a change in direction or frequency of an optical circuit required a physical change (move interface to different port) at the endpoints.

Cisco Public Colorless Add/Drop No port-frequency assignment Any frequency, any port With Colorless plus Omni-Directional, the frequency and direction of the signal can be changed, without requiring a change of ROADM add/drop port, therefore no truckrolls, and hence…programmability! Omni-Directional Add/Drop Add/Drop ports can be routed to/from any ROADM degree Colorless and Omni-directional add/drop bring touchless flexibility, and hence programmability, to ROADM networks.

  • 60. © 2017 Cisco and/or its affiliates. All rights reserved. Cisco Public Directional Add/Drop ROADMs form a Contentionless node by definition. With Contentionless, N instances of a given wavelength (where N = the number of line degrees in the ROADM node) can be add/dropped from a single device, eliminating any restrictions on dynamic wavelength provisioning. Contentionless add/drop allows multiple instances of the same frequency to A/D from one unit. But…Colorless and Omni-directional introduce wavelength contention at the add/drop stage. Need a Contentionless architecture. BRKOPT-2106 60

Tunable lasers work with colorless add/drop to enable touchless changes in the frequency of an optical signal. Coherent receivers simplify the construction of colorless and omni-directional ROADM nodes, by eliminating the need to de- multiplex a signal down to the individual wavelength. Receiver can select any channel from of a composite (unfiltered) signal. Tunable lasers and coherent receivers are also key enablers of the touchless programmable optical layer. BRKOPT-2106 61
