EPON Optical Network PHS times of Copper (map)-EPON, light of Copper, PHS – Communications Industry

Article by hi joiney

Introduction: This paper discusses the current use of Copper-optical EPON under the premise of the original use of PHSOE technology transfer with the copper wire PHS Business network transformation of light to avoid to keep copper PHS network transmission caused by “light into the copper, no withdrawal” embarrassing situations. Today’s trend is also necessary to reform on the PHS transmission network it? Look at the Internet under a very typical post: “Using the olt + onu on , the original PHS base stations, how do? If you use the built-in voice IAD of ONU to solve the problem, then It had access through the copper (ISDN) of the PHS base stations, how do? If onu only solve part of broadband, voice also use the original copper, then that is the trend of light into a copper refundable. Ha ha! hard, small Linktone network is not 12 years back can be completed. personally think, in a PHS light into the area can only reclaim the copper. ” 3G Telecommunications restructuring Mobile One-way fees, all the important technical and policy factors into the mountains of PHS business seems to the point where poor water complex, and recent rumors of a significant reduction in the PHS users seem to confirm the judge, however, PHS business and user In the return to a reasonable level but should be kept after a certain size than the present state of small but still substantial, imagine nearly 80 million PHS users are able to cutover once it? PHS base stations to 1.6 million nationwide, said scrapping the retirement? A large number of special user group is we want to turn they answer it? Pregnancy as additional households per year, and now statistics is the first half of pregnancy, almost 80% of women will replace the original PHS mobile phone, when the PHS mobile phone all into what Communicate To meet the requirements of their Low-E? Therefore, the PHS business in the next 3-5 years should not be suddenly stopped, PHS will continue to run, but the face of EPON FTTH technology for the major reconstruction, mainly composed of PHS base stations by the twisted pair to the Board end of the transmission network seems to be a stumbling block for FTTH, carriers will want to light when the steam head back into the copper wire are all digging will come to know an copper wire in two dug, the cost is too high, so FTTH can be passing the time in hand will also be light PHS transmission network of Copper is of course necessary. What is PHSOE? Why is PHSOE? PHSOE (PHS overEthernet), developed for the Chengdu Si Dawei way through the circuit is really against the second floor with a reliable Ethernet data port of a U PHS technology, the use of the technology can EPON, Fiber Transceiver , MSTP / MSAP optical network such as Ethernet and reliable data transmission PHS U port. If so, why did we choose PHSOE technology has become the light of the PHS network of Copper’s main technical means? First: the cost of the PHS network transformation and even as far as possible without spending a small cost; Second: to use the existing fiber optical network without occupying resources; again: to provide for its reconstruction is a common interface to a wide range of coverage. We now analyze the traditional PHS network transmission network and platform in the EPON network after transformation with PHSOE the network diagram: Figure 1: Traditional PHS twisted pair transmission Figure 2: In the EPON technology transfer platform through PHSOE PHS network transmission plans Through the network diagram to analyze whether we meet the above conditions, 1, while the implementation of the FTTH EPON network without the need to use to build the network, and dig out the high twisted pair resources can be recycled at the same time when the EPON network installation need not repeat the construction or installation, thus greatly reducing the cost; 2, and all the light into the retirement program is not the same as copper, the technology has been built only Ethernet optical network platform without extra a fiber-optic; 3 , PHSOE need network interface is Ethernet interface, and the interface for most of the light Network equipment Provide extensive coverage and easy construction. Based on the above factors PHS network transformation chosen PHSOE technology. How? Circuit against the clock really to ensure good transmission delay jitter and can only transmit timely PHS voice service, taking into account the Ethernet technology is based on store and forward mechanism, two mechanisms for achieving this will determine its difficult to protect the transmission delay and clock extraction, and therefore extremely difficult to achieve the time. Our concrete implementation is achieved using SW1304F chip, the chip to achieve a good U-port Ethernet-based circuit emulation and integration into the U population control program, in the realization of PHSOE related equipment only in their peripheral accessories U Ethernet port and a simple circuit can.

Fiber Optic Light Source for Optical Communication Systems

>> Light Source Requirement in a Fiber Optic Communication System

Light source plays a significant part in a fiber optic communication system. The basic optical fiber system consists of a transmitter, an optical fiber, and a receiver. The transmitter has a light source which is modulated by a suitable drive circuit in accordance with the signal to be transmitted.

The choice of an optical source is determined by the particular application. For high speed fiber optic communication systems, which operate at speed higher than 1 Gbit/s, the selection of light source is even more critical. The source should meet several basic requirements.

The first requirement is that it needs to emit a wavelength which corresponds to low loss window of fused silica, the most common optical fiber material, namely 1.3um and 1.5um windows. This is very critical since fiber links often operate at several tens of kilometers span without repeater. For a given optical power at the wavelength, lower fiber losses would lead to larger repeater spacings.

The second requirement is high speed digital modulation. Current generation of fiber optic communication systems have reached speed to 40Gb/s and 100Gb/s. This requires the light source to be modulated at speeds in excess of 2.5Gb/s. To meet this requirement, two types of modulation methods have been developed. The first type is to directly modulate the light source at the speed desired. The second modulation type is to use a LiNbO3 external modulator. For the second type, the light source is required to give steady power output

The next very important characteristic of this light source is small spectral linewidth of the source. This significantly affects the magnitude of dispersion which is directly proportional to the linewidth of the source. Dispersion in fiber causes signal overlap and significantly reduces the system’s bandwidth capacity.

Although there are many different types of light sources, fiber optic communication systems usually just use either LED(light emitting diodes) or laser diodes (LD) because of the requirements as stated above. LEDs and LDs feature small size, high power efficiency and many other beneficial features.

>> Laser Diodes (LD)

LASER stands for Light Amplification by Stimulated Emission of Radiation. Laser is highly monochromatic, it is similar to an electronic oscillator in concept. A laser consists of an active medium that is capable of providing optical amplification and an optical resonator that provides the necessary optical feedback.

The most common laser diode is formed from a p-n junction and powered by injected electric current. It is formed by doping a very thin layer on the surface of a crystal wafer. The crystal is doped to produce an n-type and a p-type region, one above the other, resulting in a p-n junction.

Laser diodes are available as laser diode modules. Some manufacturers provide a large selection of laser diode modules ranging from continuous wave, line generator, modulatable, NIR and more.

Diode lasers use microscopic chips of Gallium-Arsenide or other exotic semiconductor to generate coherent light in a very small package. The energy level differences between the conduction and valence band electrons are what provide the mechanism for laser action.

High power diode lasers are the most efficient light emitter. They can also be used for laser diode instrumentation which gives the user the ability to precisely control the laser diode current and temperature. They can be operated in continuous wave mode by selecting a laser drive current or modulated by using a modulation feature on most drivers. The laser temperature can be fixed for precise wavelength stabilization.

The active element is a solid state device not all that different from an LED. LD do have some disadvantages in addition to critical drive requirement. Optical performance is usually not equal to that of other laser types. In particular, the coherence length and monochromicity of some types are likely to be inferior.

>> Light Emitting Diodes (LED)

An LED is a forward biased p-n junction in which e-h recombination leads to the generation of optical radiation through the process of spontaneous emission. The structure of LED is similar to that of a laser diode except that there is no cavity for feedback. The emission from an LED is due to spontaneous recombinations and the output from an LED differs significantly from that of a LD (laser diode).

LEDs have many advantages such as lower energy consumption, longer lifetime, improved robustness, smaller size, and greater reliability. Unlike the laser diode, there is no threshold and the output power increases smoothly as a function of current. At large currents the output power saturates. The total power output from LEDs can be a few milliwatts.

Because spontaneous emission is random and appears along all directions, the output from an LED is not directional. Output beam angles may be typically in the range of 30° perpendicular to the junction, to about 120° parallel to the junction.

LEDs are also used in many other applications except fiber optic communication, such as aviation lighting, automotive lighting, and traffic signals, etc.
