Re: AW: [EFM] AW: [EFM-P2P] RE: Single wavelength, single fibre PMD f orP2P


Just a side track that may be of interest.

I've had 30+ years of experience in designing telecommunications
systems for residence and small and medium business.
Two things come to mind.

First:
I think it's important to remember where the ONU could be  located.
The ONU could be on the outside of the building. In fact that is the
likely spot. What happens when a service visit is required?

The service technician can't order a nice day for the visit.
The service call could be at a time of  dirty dusty conditions.
The service call may be in the rain or snow.
There may be mud and building material all around. Even plaster.
A service call could result in disconnecting the fiber.
What will happen to the exposed end of the fiber during such a service visit.
What will happen to the ONU end?
The cleanliness of the fiber connection may be compromised.
Up until now, fiber existed in wiring closets. The SOHO environment is quite different.

Second:
What about moves and changes.
I've seen situations where the equipment had to be moved many feet to accommodate
remodeling, etc. How may times can the fiber be spliced? How much lateral force can be applied
to the connector without changing the characteristics of the interface.

We had better consider such conditions.

The single wavelength P2P that requires a high return loss from the
fiber link may be impractical.

Pete,

You are correct in your appraisal of the temperature comparison
of the two systems. My reasoning for this was that some DFBs demonstrate
an intensity variation over temperature, however as was pointed out by me and others,
this can be accounted for by chip design. VCSEL temperature response is assumed to be
the same but not yet proven. I am willing to accept that both a 1-lambda and 2-lambda
have comparable temperature responses, hence making this a non-issue.

f or P2P

I don't see where the one-wavelength system has the temperature advantage.
My reasoning is this:  For the 2-wavelength syetem, choose the upstream
wavelength as 1310nm, then one would still pick an FP laser as the ONU
laser.  So, both systems use an FP laser at the ONU.  If 1550nm were chosen
for the donwstream wavelength, then this laser is located in the C.O., which
would see much less of a temperature extreme, and the advantage is less
pronounced.

What I meant is that with changes in temperature, the VCSEL/DFB grating
wavelength position
shows small shifts (arising from changes in the refractive index), however,
what
happens is that the gain curve moves away from this fixed grating position
and
hence the intensity drops. With an FP,
the gain curve and centre wavelength show the same temperature dependence,
hence the
intensity variations are smaller.  This is why fewer (not none) DFBs are
specified over
an extended temperature range.

This is incorrect.  The grating (or cavity) structure of a VCSEL or DFB is
exactly what allows VCSELs (and to some extent DFBs) to display little
variation in threshold and/or power over large temperature ranges.

In the analysis of the temperature response of a VCSEL (and DFB) I
as refering to intensity variations and not shifts in wavelength.
The grating structure of both implies a larger sensitivity in
output power to temperature shift.

VCSEL change in wavelength as a function of temperature is similar/slightly
better than the quoted number for the DFB.

PMDs to track however if this is a real problem is not clear. Assume that
you decide to use a certain lamda for downstream then it it ijust to follow
this approach in all your switches and the problem will be non-existing.
