Enabling Technologies
Tunable Lasers Tunable Filters Photonic Switching
Reduce both Capital and Operational expenses and increase network flexibility
Current DWDM networks are static since unique laser required for each wavelength
Provisioning is a local, manual process Expensive, takes weeks Flexible, remote service provisioning under software control Cost savings to carriers by reducing inventory, provisioning and the wavelength contention costs New revenue generating services to carriers for rapidly provisioned services
Tunable lasers have become the Holy Grail for next generation DWDM networks
Tunable lasers, under development for over a decade, have only recently met the basic optical performance requirements New developments have allowed tunable lasers to approach performance levels of fixed lasers Maturation of new technologies Integration of multiple technologies Tunable lasers use a variety of structures and tuning methods Thermally tuned DFBs single element - narrow thermal tuning Integrated DFB Array integrated combiner- temperature tuned Switched DFB Array- MEMS switched - temperature tuned DBRs Distributed Bragg Reflector chips current tuned SGDBRs Sampled Grating DBRs current tuned VCSELs Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Lasers MEMS tuning ECLs External Cavity Lasers mechanically tuned
Better or same optical performance as the fixed wavelength DFBs Output Power, Linewidth, RIN, SMSR Reliability Meet requirements to support 99.999 network reliability 100% Locking Hitless Tuning Density Small form/factor Low power consumption Revenue Generating services Remote Provisioning and Bandwidth on demand Efficient network utilization Price Same price as fixed wavelength DFBs
Network Applications
Back-up laser that can replace any faulty laser in system Save inventory and production costs by designing universal line card
Fast Provisioning
Wavelength Conversion
Flexible OADM/OS Protection/Restoration Bandwidth on Demand
These applications reduce cost of operation of networks for Service Providers while enabling new revenue opportunities
Full Spectrum Tunable Transponders & Filters Enables instantaneous any-to-any connectivity
Benefits:
Rapid service turn-up with ability to rapidly handle churn
Maximum flexibility with limited pre-deployment of capital
Highest network availability with additional photonic layer restoration capability Simplified network operations and significant OPEX savings Lowest deployed capital cost Enables photonic flexibility, thereby reducing EXC core size requirements

Static Transparent Network Agile Transparent Network
If demand set is known exactly, static transparency can produce lower network cost. In reality, to handle traffic variations, network price is more than doubled with static technology.
Source:
Operational savings realized in part by hands-off capabilities. There is also a notable reduction in personnel required to commission network.

Tunability
OIF Tunable Laser Implementation Agreement (IA) was endorsed by over 20 companies in Nov 2002 MSA Based on OIF Tunable Laser IA Championed by iolon, Intel, Santur and Bookham Benefits
Assured supply of new technology from multiple vendors Ensures systems architectures requiring tunablity are supported at the component level Available today Interoperability Demo in the OIF Booth at OFC!
