10GBase-LR/LW Supporting 1550 nm
Hi
Last week during the serial PMD call I suggested possible need for
Interoperability between 1550 and 1310 nm. I was asked to write a
short description.
MY intention was if you have a 1550 nm source assuming you met overload
for the 1300 nm receiver you are allowed to operate with 10GBase-LR/LW
over 10 Km. If we look at Table 52-13 the wavelength range currently
specified from 1265-1355 nm. Without adding any burden we can
define a second window around 1550 nm to allow use of 1550 nm lasers
with 10GBase-LR/LW. InGaAs/InP detector sensitivity is nearly flat
in this region and it may only require to specify dual wavelength AR
coating, which is already very common.
Thanks,
