Following are the few options that can help increase capacity of an Optical System
- Increasing the signal’s frequency
- Increasing the number of fibers
- Increasing the number of channels
- Increasing the modulation complexity.
The first option would require a proportional increase in bandwidth, while the other options would require the inclusion or replacement of equipment, resulting in higher cost, complexity, and power consumption.
