An optical transmission system using Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) and Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) with new proposed model has been analyzed to overcome chromatic dispersion and attenuation phenomena. To evaluate the transmission system performance of the received signals, a simple model of one channel transmission has been developed in the first step. Also, optical fiber length and attenuation coefficient parameters have been investigated in detail to deal with the optimized corresponding parameter values. Results show that the performance of the optimized design parameters is very efficient in terms of output power (dBm), noise figure (dB), gain (dB), and Q-Factor. The model of one channel developed previously has been adapted to a complex model of four optical channels multiplexing with different wavelengths. FBG and EDFA have been also added to WDM technology system to enhance the chromatic dispersion and the signal attenuation. Results show that the new model is more efficient in terms of Q-Factor and eye diagrams.

In this paper, Gain Flatness and Noise Figure of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) have been investigated in 16-channels Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM). Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) is used in C-band with the aim to achieve flat EDFA output gain. The proposed model has been studied in detail to evaluate and to enhance the performance of the transmission system in terms of gain, noise figure and eye diagram of the received signals. To that end, various design parameters have been investigated and optimized, such as frequency spacing, EDF length and temperature. To enhance the transmission system performance in terms of gain flatness, the Gain Flattening Filter (GFF) has been introduced in the design. To prove the efficiency of the new design, the optical transmission system with optimized design parameters has been compared with a previous works in the literature. The simulation results show satisfactory performance with quasi-equalized gain for each channel of the WDM transmission system.


This paper focuses on the impact of different parameters on the performance of the Subcarrier Multiplexed Optical Transmission System for the application on radio link via optical fiber. Performance results are evaluated for QPSK data format for ODSB and OSSB modulation of Microwave subcarriers with digital NRZ coded random data patterns. The four subsystems of QPSK modulators are at 400, 500, 600, 700 MHz subcarrier frequencies with frequency spacing of 100 MHz. The power of subcarriers is decreasing with increasing the link distance due to dispersion and attenuation. By using dispersion compensation fiber, the link distance has been enhanced from 100 km to 240 km successfully. The impact of chromatic dispersion has been reduced in OSSB by using dual-electrode MZM. The constellation diagram also confirms that the phase of the signal after traveling through the link is changing due to dispersion. The phase is the same for subcarrier 600 MHz & 700 MHz for ODSB and OSSB in QPSK SCM. The impact of linewidth and responsivity on SNR has also analyzed to evaluate the performance. It is concluded that the maximum SNR is decreasing with increase in the linewidth of laser source and increasing with the increase in responsivity of PIN diode for the same fiber length in SCM transmission.

Comparison of Different Modulation Formats and their Compatibility with WDM Transmission SystemIn the work, the intensity and phase modulation methods are compared for different versions of the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) system. Binary and multilevel code formats are evaluated numerically, with OptSim simulation software at the bit rate of 10 and 40 Gbit/s, using long-fiber spans and dispersion compensation technique. The problems to be overcome at exploitation of multiterabit WDM systems based on 40 Gbit/s optical transmissions are: chromatic dispersion (CD), polarization-mode dispersion (PMD), dispersion slope, and nonlinear effects of the transmission line. We have investigated the potentialities of modulation formats for 40 Gbit/s WDM networks where most of the listed problems are avoided. It is shown that Duobinary and differential phase shift keying (DPSK) modulation formats are perfectly suitable for ultra-high spectral efficient WDM systems and possess high resistance to dispersion and nonlinear optical effects (NOE).

AbstractWe propose the experiment transport of 48 Chs 40 Gb/s dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) system that uses larger effective area fiber (LEAF) in combination with reverse dispersion fiber (RDF), which is a dispersion compensation device, in C band (1,530–1,560 nm) and L band (1,570–1,610 nm) wavelength range to solve the dispersion program. The single Mach–Zehnder modulation (MZM) format with erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) configuration to generate return-to-zero differential phase-shift keying (RZ-DPSK) modulation signal can compensate dispersion impairment in 48×40 Gb/s DWDM system. The proposed 48×40 Gb/s DWDM system successfully employs single MZM RZ-DPSK modulation format to reduce modulation complex configuration with EDFA to promote the power signal and using LEAF and RDF in 28 spans over 3,360 km ultra-long-haul fiber transmission successfully.

We present the results of investigation  for  influence of amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise, noise figure (NF) and  chromatic dispersion on the performance of middle-distance Dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) networks using low-power pumped distributed Raman amplifiers (DRAs) in two different pump configurations, i.e., forward and backward pumping. We found that the pumping configurations, ASE noise, and dispersion play an important role for improving network performance by decrease of noise figure and bit error rate (BER) of the system. Simulation results show that the lowest bit error rate and low noise figure were obtained, when using forward pumping configuration. Moreover, we have also compared ASE noise powers of the simulation with these of the experiment. These results conclude that DRA with low pump power  ($<1$~W) is the promising key technology for short-- and/or middle-distance DWDM transmission networks.
