To increase the bandwidth in same
fiber we can use several modulation techniques which can offer high spectral efficiency
and high receiver sensitivity. In Oder to increase the bandwidth in we can go
for different multiplexing techniques. Wavelength division multiplexing (WDM),
has proven more cost effective in many instances. It allows using current
electronics and current fibers, but simply shares fibers by transmitting
different channels at different wavelengths of light. Systems that already use
fiber optic amplifiers as repeaters also do not require upgrading for most WDM
systems. But nowadays people use Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing, using
that we can increase the bandwidth,

Wavelength Division Multiplexing
For
submarine cables, DWDM enhances the capacity without adding fibers, which
create larger cables and bulkier and more complicated repeaters. DWDM is
designed for long-haul transmission where wavelengths are packed tightly
together. Vendors have found various techniques for cramming 32, 64, or 128
wavelengths into a fiber. In this each wave length, we can store different data
types (STM4 or STM 5) and can transmit it. This compression exposes to carry
more bandwidth at the transmitting end when multiplexing. Since each channel is
demultiplexed at the end of the transmission back into the original source,
different data formats being transmitted at different data rates can be
transmitted together.
Throughout this article I hope you may get some thing.
This provides very basic explanation and future will cover more. Comments are well come. Thank you.
