Ethernet over Plastic Optical Fibre

چکیده
POF offers many benefits to the user. It is lightweight, robust, cheap and easy to install. A simple sharp blade can be used to cut POF, without the need for polishing afterwards. The use of 650nm red light (LED) makes it completely safe. This safety feature brings additional benefits to the installer, as red light can be easily seen by the human eye to diagnose if the link is good. Perhaps though one of the biggest advantages in today’s complex and congested world of networking is the fact that being fibre it is totally immune to electro-magnetic noise and just as important itself emits no radiation. Just think of all the wireless networks that are present today in the home and office. This is extremely important for video and voice streaming, where such noise can affect picture or service quality. Installation is simplified further as existing mains cable ducting can be used to route the fibre without any impact from noise interference.

Effect of Nonlinear Phase Variation in Optical Millimetre Wave Radio over Fibre Systems
In this paper, we propose an optical millimetre wave radio-over-fibre (mm-wave RoF) system that uses a dual drive Mach Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM), which is biased at the maximum transmission biasing point, to generate an optical double sideband-suppressed carrier. The input to the DD-MZM are binary phase shift keying (BPSK), quadrature phase shift keying (QPSK), 8-phase shift keying (8-PSK) and...
متن کاملAngular Mode Group Diversity Multiplexing for Multi-channel Communication in a Single Step-Index Plastic Optical Fibre
The principle of Angular Multiplexing to realise independent communication channels in a relatively short step-index plastic optical fibre is described. This concept of Mode Group Diversity Multiplexing is based on the principle that the axial angle of light propagating in a step index multimode fibre is preserved over relative short distances. By using an array of lasers each launching light i...

To meet these challenges, organizations must build a single network infrastructure that unifies traditional server I/O, storage, and network operations to more efficiently support evolving business applications. This document describes how a Unified Fabric, proposed by Cisco and NetApp, enables convergence of SAN traffic over an Ethernet and compares the performance of Fibre Channel over Ethern...
متن کاملReference Architecture for Multi-Layer Software Defined Optical Data Center Networks
As cloud computing data centers grow larger and networking devices proliferate; many complex issues arise in the network management architecture. We propose a framework for multi-layer; multi-vendor optical network management using open standards-based software defined networking (SDN). Experimental results are demonstrated in a test bed consisting of three data centers interconnected by a 125 ...
