Optical Communications (OC) is any form of communicatin using light. Its very high speed but harder to implement. In OSI, OC falls in the Physical layer and there are many ad and disad to using it.
Advantages
- more resistance to attenuation, noise. thus can transmit longer distant
- high speed
- better choice to use in dangerous environment like refinery
- Large BW permits aggregation of voice, video and data
- secure because difficult to tap
Disad
- difficult to install and handle
- cost
The two different light source for optical transmission are LED and LASER. No matter which light source is being used, they all suffer from a degree of attenuation, dispersion and noise. Where attenuation loss is due to absorption and signal scattering by fiber impurities and dispersion is the distortion of signal.
SONET - Synchronous optical networking is the multiplexing protocol for transferring multiple digital bit streams.
