Re: optical circulator as a bidirectional one fiber solution

Good news about almost all optics, their Rx window is pretty wide. Meaning a 1550nm optic will activate the receiver on a 1560nm optic just fine (and probably anything in the 1500nm band). Careful use of specialized single strand DWDM muxes (FS.com) can yield great bidi-like results with

Something that is broadly the same as a coherent 100G QPSK single wavelength optical module, but in two different frequencies, and a passive CWDM mux/demux prism at each end might work. The limitation would be availability of optics for a modern 100G MSA that are both coherent and Tx/Rx at two

If we were talking 10G, adjacent channels, add a TFFL filter it *Should* work. 100G isn’t just on-off at a high clock rate, it’s also modulated around the center frequency, I don’t think it’d work even with a wideband receiver. From: Ben Cannon [mailto:b...@6by7.net] Sent: Monday, August

For 1 and 10Gbps OOK modulation yes, but not for something like a ITU DWDM grid channelized or tunable coherent optic. In which the (QPSK, 8PSK, 16QAM) signal has a specific THz width and frequency not unlike a radio operating in a very, very narrow waveguide. On Mon, Aug 13, 2018 at 1:57 PM Ben

You would still need to frequency shift TX and RX. They are travelling opposite directions on the same piece of glass; as the traffic rate increases the likelihood of collisions increases and you’ll start to get errors. The collision would either cancel the ‘bit’ or act like OBI and get
