Abstract Different fiber amplifiers such as semiconductor optical amplifier, erbium-doped fiber amplifier and erbium ytterbium-co-doped fiber amplifier (EYCDFA) are investigated for 16×40 GB/s wavelength division multiplexing system. Various performance parameters including Q-factor, bit error rate, jitter, eye opening and eye closure are observed and analyzed. It is reported that EYCDFA is a better choice among the tested amplifiers. The proposed system is also investigated in terms of transmission distance.

In this paper, we present phase-separated alumina–silica glass-based Er3+-doped optical fibers made by a modified chemical vapor deposition (MCVD) process in combination with a solution doping (SD) technique. The fibers exhibited better optical performance than other silica-based host glasses—both in terms of spectral broadening and flattening of the gain spectra in the C band (1530–1560 nm) region—as well as an improved lifetime. These phase-separated erbium-doped fibers (EDF) promoted longer Er–O bond lengths and also hexa- and penta-coordinated Al3+ ions instead of the fourfold coordination found in non-phase-separated EDF. It was observed that the higher coordination numbers of Er3+ and Al3+ ions in phase-separated glass hosts led to more homogeneous and inhomogeneous broadening, resulting in better flatness of the gain spectrum with 1.2 dB more gain compared to the non-phase-separated EDF.

The massive demands for high-rate application drove the telecommunication service to use large bandwidth capacity. The Coarse Wavelength Division Multiplexing (CWDM), a common use in Metro-WDM, can be a solution to provide large bandwidth in optical communications. In a communications system, there are attenuation and nonlinear effect decreasing the system performance. In order to overcome the limitation imposed by electrical regeneration to maintain system performance, a means of optical amplification was sought. In this paper presents the comparison of two competing technologies emerged: Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) and Raman Optical Amplifier (ROA) to overcome the attenuation in the nonlinear system. We designed the CWDM system using 8 channels with 20 nm channel spacing and 60 km length. The result was conducted by varying the CW Laser power using -8, -6, -4, -2, 0, 2, 4, and 6 dBm. Based on the result of the research, raman amplification can maintain the BER and the Q-factor of the CWDM system better than EDFA. In addition, the received power in raman amplification larger than that received in EDFA. In conclusion,a CWDM system using ROA amplifier has better performance for the system than using EDFA amplifier.
