Photonic Network Technologies (2h Winter Term, 2h Summer Term) Knowledge of systems and methods used in photonic networks, key technologies for the construction of photonic network nodes as well as a sound understanding of the interactions between different physical effects.
Photonic Network Technologies (2h Winter Term, 2h Summer Term) Here, a classification of realization possibilities for different key technologies in optical networks is given, constructing on the base knowledge of optical telecommunications. Applications of photonic networks in the access, regional, and global areas are discussed. All components, systems, methods, and strategies necessary to build such networks are treated. An introduction into different techniques for simulation of optical networks is given. These techniques are demonstrated based on descriptive examples with typical simulation results. Some practice-related exercises (demonstrations and measurements) will be carried out on the institute s SDH/WDM network testbed. - Introduction - History - Current developments - Fundamentals of optical components, multiplexing techniques (WDM, OCDM, OTDM), modulation techniques - Structures for the circuit- and packet-switching - Today s optical networks (SONET/SDH, GbE, 10GbE, WDM, FC, FTTX) - Optical switching vs. electrical switching - Encoding of the control information in the optical domain - Control plane - All-optical networks - Structures and methods for fast all-optical packet-switched networks - Link and network management in optical networks - Planning and Simulation of photonic networks - Discussion about future perspectives
