AbstractIn this paper, we have presented a global study of simple bonds, focusing on the main limitations introduced by different optical components as laser source, fiber, optical amplifier, and optical detector. The construction of a long-distance link requires the compensation of attenuation and chromatic dispersion phenomena. Thus, it is well known that the attenuations cause the drop of the signal intensity, whereas the pulse spreading, due to the dispersion, causes the increase of the Bit Error Rate (BER) and consequently the reduction of the signal to noise ratio (SNR). In this purpose, we have calculated the quality factor (Q) issues from the noisy signal’s simulations. We have found a Q of 7.02 to a BER of 0.8 e−12. The founding results match well with fixes norms in telecommunication field.
