Why need Single Fiber DWDM Applications?

 Fiber optic networking used to require two fibers, one for transmitting and one forreceiving signals simultaneously. Single fiber solutions emerged as a way to reduce costs ofdark fiber solutions and optimize fiber. Rather than using two dedicated strands, a single fiber strand that carries a bi-directional signal is used.

For enterprises leasing dark fiber from providers, the operational savings are significant. The challenge is to maximize revenues while reducing their largest expenditure - monthly cost of the fiber link. Using single fiber reduces operational costs by 50%, making dark fiber an affordable solution. 

In DWDM, active and passive solutions for single fiber transmission range from 4 up to 8 400G wavelengths, with optional optical amplifiers. The single fiber solution seamlessly

integrates with any standards-based 10/25/100Gb Ethernet, 16/32G Fibre Channel, and OTU2/2e/4 client interfaces, and supports any mix of up to 400G services. 

Single fiber solutions are recommended for the following applications:

• Point-to-point, ring or linear add and drop topologies, where installing new fiber is difficult or expensive

• Enables splitting enterprise traffic over two different fibers as opposed to using the same fiber for the entire traffic

• Increase reliability to an existing dual fiber solution by using one fiber for transmitting and receiving, and one for protecting.

DWDM Single Fiber Solution

The single fiber solution is more efficient and economical for many applications and needs, and provides the same performance and throughput as the traditional dual fiber solution. It enables customers to utilize single fiber for both transmitting and receiving, significantly maximizing their investment and reducing costs such as monthly leasing, taxes, or laying additional fibers.

The solution is transparent to the client optical interface and suits 400G, 100G, 10G, and sub-10G with any client interface mix. It incorporates a single mux with 8 or 16 channels. Half of the mux is used for transmitting and half for receiving.

Where DWDM use?

DWDM is often used by telecommunications, cable and data centers as part of their optical transport network.

Carrier Transport Network

The carrier transport network is made up of several layers of aggregation called the access network, metro aggregation network, edge network and the core backbone network. DWDM is most often used in the metro aggregation network and the core backbone network.

DWDM in the metro aggregation network is used to combine data from several cities. As service providers bring more computing capabilities closer to their customers, DWDM is also flexible enough to meet their needs for higher bandwidth aggregation as they begin to converge more data into a single node to compute. The core backbone often deals with the high-speed switching of large amounts of data between their major central offices, which can span across several regions, states or even countries, which is also ideal for using DWDM.

What is BA, LA, PA in the DWDM System?

 Erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA) are now the most preferred and widely used optical amplifier for long-haul fiber-optic communications.

Booster amplifier (BA), in-line amplifier (LA), and pre-amplifier (PA) are the three types of EDFAs used in DWDM optical transmissions. They are typically deployed in combinations and placed at different locations along the transmission line to ensure that the signal is transmitted to the receiver.

The booster amplifier works at the transmission side of the link, which is used to amplify the optical signal before it launches into the fiber link. It is characterized by high input power, high output power and medium optical gain.

The in-line amplifier operates in the middle of the optical link, which is designed for optical amplification between two network nodes. It features low to medium input power, high output power, high optical gain, and low noise figure.

The pre-amplifier is placed at the receiving end of the optical link and is used to compensate for the losses of the demultiplexer near the optical receiver. It is characterized by medium to low input power, medium output power, and medium Gain.

What is OLP?

 What is OLP?

For example, you want to transmission 100G from Site A to site B.
There are 2 routings, you only choose routing 1, If the optical cable is broken, the transmission is interrupted.

You choose 2 routings, add OLP,  Routing 1 is primary link , and routing 2 is secondary link, If the optical cable is broken, the transmission will automatically jump from the primary link to the secondary link. Ensure uninterrupted business

Add OLP, need double routing. If you don't have redundent routing, suggestion not add OLP.
