A REVIEW ON MULTI-BAND OPTICAL COMMUNICATION SYSTEM

Abstract

Multiband optical communication has attracted a lot of interest since it is difficult to increase  capacity per optical fibre within traditional, constrained bandwidths. Our goal is to increase  bandwidth from the currently popular C or L bands to other bands like the S, E, and O bands.  Multiband optical communication is the promising technique to extend the lifetime of currently  deployed networks. In this paper, we review the components, potentialities and challenges of  Multi-band optical communication system over single mode fibers, compared to transmission  solutions such as multi-fiber (MF), multi-mode fiber (MMF) and multi-core fiber (MCF).
