At 40 gigabits per second, the signal can travel 4 kilometers before its quality is compromised.

[Slide 18] This slide is titled “Tunable Dispersion Compensation”. This slide depicts a section of a fiber optic system, specifically optical amplifiers, a demultiplexer and receivers. Tunable dispersion compensators are placed after the demultiplexer in order to compensate for the dispersion in the transmission signal before it is detected by the receiver.

[Slide 19] This slide is titled “40 Gb/s Transceiver Demo – NFOEC 2001". Slide contains diagram of a JDSU transceiver product demonstration from NFOEC trade show in July 2001.

The demonstration included several JDS Uniphase components including: modulator, continuous wavelength laser, receiver, and tunable dispersion compensator.

[Slide 20] This slide is titled “40 Gb/s Transceiver Demo- NFOEC 2001. Measured Eye Diagrams: 40 km”. Slide contains photos of two eye diagrams from the 40 G/bs transceiver. One diagram shows signal compensated for chromatic dispersion and one without compensation.

[Slide 21] This slide is titled “Challenge: Increase Number of Channels.” This slide contains an illustration of the input of even and odd light frequencies on two separate fibers into an optical fiber interleaver. The separate frequencies exit the optical fiber interleaver as tightly-packed light on a single piece of fiber. At the bottom of the slide is a realistic image of an optical fiber interleaver.

[Slide 22] This slide is titled “Step Toward ‘System on a Chip’ - AWG.” This slide provides an animated illustration of an Arrayed Waveguide Grating (AWG) with integrated variable optical attentuators. An AWG is a dense wavelength division multiplexer based on a semiconductor substrate. The animated illustration starts with the input of light into the AWG and shows the path of the light through the demultiplexer that separates the light into different wavelengths and then through the variable attenuators, which improve the signal quality. Below this animated illustration are three images of realistic AWG components.

[Slide 23] This slide is titled “Reach”. The slide identifies system issues and the corresponding component requirements. The system issues listed are: “Eliminate regenerators; Reduce cost”. The component requirements to address these issues are: “Higher powered lasers; Low cost amplifiers; Raman amplifiers; Dynamic gain equalizers; Dispersion compensation”.

[Slide 24] This slide is titled “Full Spectrum Amplification.” This slide depicts the three different types of amplifiers that can cover all useable wavelengths to send signals in optical fiber. On the left side of the slide are realistic images of the following three types of amplifiers: the “Raman Amplifier,” the “Semiconductor Optical Amplifier,” and the “Doped Fiber Amplifier.” To the right of each amplifier is an image that shows the range of useable wavelengths that each amplifier covers. At the bottom of the slide is an image of the range of wavelengths covered, beginning at the left with “850” nm and continuing to the right up to potentially more than “1625” nm.

[Slide 25] This slide is titled “Dynamic Gain Equalizer”.

Two charts showing input and output of transmission signal through dynamic gain equalizer. Input signal is uneven and the output signal even. Also includes photograph of JDS Uniphase product.

[Slide 26] This slide is titled “Polarization Mode Dispersion (PMD)". Slide contains a chart titled “PMD limit decreases exponentially with data rate”. Chart shows that at 2.5 gigabits per second transmission, the PMD limit is 6,400 kilometers. At 10 gigabits per second transmission, the PMD limit is 400 kilometers. At 40 gigabits per second transmission, the PMD limit is 25 kilometers. The PMD limit indicates the distance a signal can travel before the quality is compromised.

[Slide 27] This slide is titled “Polarization Mode Dispersion Compensation”. This slide contains a box with three graphs labeled “Optical Pulses” with the x-axis labeled “optical power” and the y-axis labeled “time,” “Eye Diagram WITHOUT PMD Compensation” and “Eye Diagram WITH PMD Compensation.” The “Optical Pulses” figure illustrates the effect of PMD on optical impulses. The “Eye Diagram WITHOUT PMD Compensation” figure shows a blue pulse that has traveled through the fiber and become distorted by PMD. The “Eye Diagram WITH PMD Compensation” figure shows a red pulse that has been reconstructed by the PMD compensator. Below the box is an image of a JDS Uniphase polarization controller.

There is a drawing of a backhoe over the North Western part of the United States, with the words “Buried Cables” next to it. The backhoe illustrates a break in the network. Three JDS Uniphase products that can detect such a break are pictured at the bottom: Wavelength Monitoring Unit, Optical Performance Monitor, and Optical Channel Monitor. A depiction of network operations center appears that utilizes feedback from the JDS Uniphase products to identify what is broken, where it is broken. Additional JDS Uniphase products (Optical Protection Module and MEMS switch) appear to help the network operation center adjust the network.
