High-Performance Submarine Line Terminal Equipment for Next-Generation Optical Submarine Cable System: FLASHWAVE S650 High-Performance Submarine Line Terminal Equipment for Next-Generation Optical Submarine Cable System: FLASHWAVE S650 V Hiroshi Oikawa V Junichi Yoshimura V Haruki Watanabe (Manuscript received June 20, 2006) Global telecommunications traffic is rapidly growing in response to customer demand for broadband services and more reliable network performance. Thus, the demand for a submarine telecommunications system, which is a backbone infrastructure for international telecommunications, is also steadily increasing. This demand is not only for constructing a new cable system, but also for upgrading capacity by adding extra capacity to existing systems. To meet this demand, we have developed the FLASHWAVE S650, new Submarine Line Terminal Equipment (SLTE), by applying cutting-edge DWDM optical technologies. This equipment features excellent trans- mission performance, improved maintainability, and a flexible configuration suitable for a long-haul system, coupled with upgraded capacity. The FLASHWAVE S650 was successfully deployed in a SEA-ME-WE 4 cable system and certain upgraded systems. This paper describes the various functions, characteristics, and configura- tion of the FLASHWAVE S650. 1.

  • Long-Range Free-Space Optical Communication Research Challenges Dr
    Long-Range Free-Space Optical Communication Research Challenges Dr. Scott A. Hamilton, MIT Lincoln Laboratory and Prof. Joseph M. Khan, Stanford University The substantial benefits of free-space optical (FSO) or laser communications (lasercom) have been well known to system designers for quite some time, c.f. [1]. The free-space channel, similar to the fiber channel, provides many benefits at optical frequencies compared to radio frequencies (RF) including extremely wide unregulated bandwidth and tightly confined beams (i.e. narrow beam divergence), both of which enable low size, weight and power (SWaP) terminals. However, significant challenges are still perceived: stochastic intensity fluctuations in a received optical signal after propagating through the atmosphere, power-starved link mode of operation, and narrow transmit beams that must be precisely pointed and tracked. Since the late 1970’s the United States [2], Europe [3] and Japan [4] have actively been developing FSO technology motivated primarily for long-haul spaceborne communication systems. While early efforts were focused on maturing FSO technology, the past decade has seen significant progress toward demonstrating the practicality of FSO for multiple applications. The first high-rate demonstration of FSO between a satellite in Geosynchronous (GEO) orbit and the ground was achieved by the US during the GeoLITE experiment in 2001. A short time later, the European Space Agency (ESA) demonstrated a 50- Mbps FSO link operating at 800-nm wavelengths between their Artemis GEO satellite and: i) another ESA spacecraft in Low-Earth orbit (LEO) in 2001 [5]; ii) a ground station located in Tenerife, Spain in 2001 [6]; and iii) an airplane flying at altitudes as low as 6,000 meters outfitted with an FSO terminal developed by France’s Astrium EADS in 2006 [7].

  • Wireless Power Transmission
    International Journal of Scientific & Engineering Research, Volume 5, Issue 10, October-2014 125 ISSN 2229-5518 Wireless Power Transmission Mystica Augustine Michael Duke Final year student, Mechanical Engineering, CEG, Anna university, Chennai, Tamilnadu, India [email protected] ABSTRACT- The technology for wireless power transfer (WPT) is a varied and a complex process. The demand for electricity is much higher than the amount being produced. Generally, the power generated is transmitted through wires. To reduce transmission and distribution losses, researchers have drifted towards wireless energy transmission. The present paper discusses about the history, evolution, types, research and advantages of wireless power transmission. There are separate methods proposed for shorter and longer distance power transmission; Inductive coupling, Resonant inductive coupling and air ionization for short distances; Microwave and Laser transmission for longer distances. The pioneer of the field, Tesla attempted to create a powerful, wireless electric transmitter more than a century ago which has now seen an exponential growth. This paper as a whole illuminates all the efficient methods proposed for transmitting power without wires. —————————— —————————— INTRODUCTION Wireless power transfer involves the transmission of power from a power source to an electrical load without connectors, across an air gap. The basis of a wireless power system involves essentially two coils – a transmitter and receiver coil. The transmitter coil is energized by alternating current to generate a magnetic field, which in turn induces a current in the receiver coil (Ref 1). The basics of wireless power transfer involves the inductive transmission of energy from a transmitter to a receiver via an oscillating magnetic field.
