Optical fibres

• Guiding light through a glass pipe

• Early discoveries dates back 1840 (Daniel Collodonand Jacques Babinet - light could be directed along jets of water for fountain displays)

• 1854: John Tyndall (Carlow) demonstrated that light could travel through a curved stream of water thereby proving that a light signal could be bent.

• Optical fibres originally developed for medical applications (endoscopes)

Enablers for near-term capacity demands

• C+L• Multi-level formats (PAM4, m-QAM & energy-efficient constellations)• Dual polarisation• Multi-carriers (& orthogonal carriers)• Silica-based multi-model fibres (orthogonal modes / mode-multiplexing)• Silica-based multi-core fibres• DSP• FEC• Impairment compensation

Nonlinearities will still be an issue.

What if we optimise the fibre to minimise impairments?

Potential avenues – 80s

• Fluoride and Chalcogenite glass

fibres were good options

• Prediction of loss minima didn’t

include OH and other impurities,

but shown the potential for low loss

further in the IR

• Challenges: high nonlinearity and

difficult to handle.

• 1st transmission in fluoride fibres

with sc lasers @140 Mbit/s##

Recent revisited interest due to other applications rather than communications.For example, H. Ebendorff-Heidepriem, “Glasses for Infrared Fibre Applications”, ECOC 2013 paper Tu.1.A.1.

Other potential avenues

• Large effective area fibres – still single mode, minimising nonlinearities

• Hollow core photonic bandgap fibres – low loss, low nonlinearities, low latency – dispersion and mode confinement can be engineered.

• Anti-resonant hollow core fibres – broadband transmission window, low nonlinearities

Hollow Core Photonic Bandgap Fibres (HC-PGBF)

Why HC-PBGF?

• Predicted minimum loss ~0.1-0.2dB/km[1], and dependent on:• Rayleigh scattering (negligible)

• Confinement loss (negligible)

• Infrared absorption

• Surface scattering

• Nonlinear coefficient likely to be small (~0.001W-1km-1 )[2]

• Latency ~ 99.7% of c [3],[4]

Reflections on transmission windows for optical communications

• Fundamental physics and limits calculations were studied well in advance of actual devices fabrication & implementation

• A combination of fabrication of low loss fiber and availability of laser diodes at certain wavelengths have shown to be the key enabling technologies to the opening of new transmission windows.

• Current research solutions would continue to provide for near-future capacity needs, including the adoption of SDM.

• For the future, and in order to exploit the full potential of Silicon photonics & integration, moving to wavelengths ~2000nm would be ideal.
