SECTION - A

Explain the following: 10 x 2 = 20
1. What do you understand by all-optical and opaque optical network?
2. Differentiate between circuit switching and packet switching.
3. Discuss the principle of operation of reflections grating.
4. What do you understand by multiplexer and filters in optical network?
5. What are point to point links in optical network?
6. What is SONET/SDH concatenation?
7. What are wavelength converters? Mentions their types
8. What are solitons? How they are capable of reducing the non-linear effects?
9. Explain gigabit and VLAN Ethernet frames.
10. How do we arrive at 51.84 Mbps basic transmission rate in SONET/SDH?

SECTION – B

Attempt any five of the following questions: 5 x 10 = 50
1. Explain the reasons for growing demand of optical networks. What are the key networks elements that enable optical networking?
2. Mention the advantages offered by optical amplifiers over regenerators. Explain principle of operation of EDFA.
3. Explain the structure and properties of VCSELs laser. Also tells about the different tuning mechanisms
