Photonic Integration: A Key Enabler for Reconfigurable Digital Optical Networks Serge Melle VP, Technical Marketing Infinera

2 ROADM Benefits Any wavelength at any node
Simplify engineering and deployment compared to fixed OADM Remote provisioning and reconfiguration Eliminate truck rolls to intermediate sites Reduce cost through OEO elimination – end-end wavelength networking The underlying premise: less electronics + more optics = lower cost But…

3 Wavelength Blocking in ROADM Networks
Allocate bandwidth on ROADM ring using available l’s Extending ROADM consumes l’s end-end across network… Blocking consumes extra l’s or requires OEO for l conversion… ..or creates stranded bandwidth and faster capacity exhaust This does not scale with…. Protection; Hundreds of demands; Larger networks; Nodal connectivity Note that animations 13 and after are just automated 32-40 l WDM

4 Sub-Wavelength Traffic in ROADM Networks
Typically many sub-l end-end demands: GbE or OC-48/STM-16 Use “Muxponders” to aggregate 8-10 x 1G or 4 x 2.5G per wavelength Creates many point-point connections and complex planning New demands either strand bandwidth, or consume extra wavelengths Different muxponders for 1G and 2.5G compound complexity Option 1: New end-end l and muxponders Inefficient wavelength fill Stranded capacity & faster capacity exhaust Note that animations 13 and after are just automated New A-Z demand Option 2: Use existing l’s and muxponders Added cost from extra interfaces Manual inter-connects at back-back sites require truck rolls and extra OpEx 8 x 1G 2.5G 4 x 2.5G 1G 1G

5 Lets Step Back: Benefits of Electronics in Optical Networks
Reconfigurable Switching Wide choice of switching/grooming granularity (VC-4, ODU-1, packet) Fundamental to managing and grooming customer services Highest level of reconfigurability Cost per chip: 10’s to 100’s of € Dispersion Compensation FFE and DFE can compensate upwards of 1000ps/nm MLSE can correct upwards of 3000ps/nm dispersion Significant space savings vs. DCF Cost per device: 10’s of € Reach Improvement G.709 standard defines 6dB gain FEC (Reed-Solomon) High-gain FEC provides optical gain of 8dB to 9dB Corrects BER of 10-3 to BER of 10-17 Cost per chip: 10’s to 100’s of € PM and Operations OTH and SONET/SDH Overhead Extensive digital PM at all OEO nodes J0/B1, BIP-8 FEC bit error rate monitoring Communication channels for OAM&P SONET/SDH DCC and OTH TCM

6 Relative Costs of OEO – The “O” vs. the “E”
Accessing the Data Manipulating the Data High cost of OEO conversion compared to the cost for manipulating the data Implementing feature-rich network & service functionality incurs a cost premium Silicon cost is not the problem… …it is the conversion cost from Optical to Electronic Relative Costs per 10G

7 Why are OEO’s Expensive? Discrete Optics

9 Photonic Integration Enables a “Digital” ROADM
Use (analog) photonics for what it does best: transmission Use (digital) electronics for everything else – more functionality / lower cost Consistent with other network elements: SONET/SDH, switches, routers … Integrated Photonics Digital Electronics & Software Integrated Photonics Signal regeneration Error correction Performance monitoring Sub-l add/drop Sub-l Grooming & switching Multi-Service Multiplexing Protection optical (analog) electrical (digital) optical (analog)

11 Reconfigurable “Digital” Add/Drop
Switched WDM with sub-l grooming at all nodes Removes wavelength blocking constraints – any point to any point Maximizes WDM capacity on every link - no stranded bandwidth “Switched WDM” eliminates back-to-back transponder connections “Mix and match” of 1G, 2.5G, 10G and 40G services on any wavelength Scales with network capacity, number of nodes, network size/distance N x 100G WDM N x 100G WDM N x 100G WDM N x 100G WDM
