So, signals could be regenerated every 80 km. In the 1990s, a new optical amplifier was introduced. 9:50 Reamplifcation vs regeneration 10:00 .1 dB per km loss in modern fiber optic cable 11:20 This enables undersea communication Undersea has to be very reliable How does undersea communication happen? 12:30 Usually consortiums. I-ME-WE - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I-ME-WE SEA-ME-WE - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SEA-ME-WE_5 AT&T was originally a network provider What is dark fiber? 14:30 Fiber is cheap, installation and right-of-way is expensive 15:00 What if fiber breaks? 16:00 Dark fiber can be used as a sensor 16:30 (change in refractive index) Water in fiber optic line is bad Anchors break fiber optic cable 17:30 Fiber optic cable can be made out of a lot of different things 18:15 Undersea fiber has to have some extra slack in the cable 18:30 Submarines inspect fiber optic cable 19:30 You can find breaks in the line using OTDR 21:00 Optical time domain reflectometry A distributed reflection means a mostly linear loss. The slope tells you the loss rate. Refractive index in fiber is about 1.5 Latency and delay 23:00 The main issue is the data processing, not the data transmission A lot of optical engineers started in RF engineering 24:00 Environmental factors influence the channel 25:00 Factors include temperature, pressure, and bends Recently, thunderstorms effected the fiber channel Distributed fiber sensing for drilling 26:15 Polarization in fiber 27:00 Polarization multiplexing Uses 194 THz, 50 nm windows Future challenges for optical 28:25 Its cost driven. Laying fiber is expensive, and when alll dark fiber is being used, you have to increase bandwidth on existing fiber.
