AbstractIn this paper, performance analysis of high-speed superdense wavelength-division-multiplexing (SDWDM) optical add–drop multiplexer (OADM) optical ring network for 6 nodes, 45 wavelengths having channel spacing of 0.2 nm on 300 km unidirectional nonlinear single-mode fiber ring of 10 Gbit/s has been reported. The performance optimization of the system by comparing different modulation formats has been reported on the basis of eye diagram and bit error rate (BER). It has been reported that CSRZ modulation format can achieve BER as better as e-24, which gives best performance. This paper also presents a study of performance degradation caused by the crosstalk and the effect of channel spacing on SWDM system.

AbstractIn this paper, performance enhancement of super-dense wavelength division multiplexing (SDWDM) optical add–drop multiplexer optical ring network for six nodes, 50 wavelengths having channel spacing of 0.2 nm for 300 km unidirectional nonlinear fiber is successfully demonstrated. The performance of the designed system is enhanced by comparing different modulation formats (non-return to zero (NRZ), return to zero (RZ), soliton, chirped return to zero (CRZ), carrier-suppressed RZ (CSRZ)) and hybrid amplifiers (Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)–EDFA, semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)–SOA, SOA, EDFA, EDFA–SOA) on the basis of eye diagram and bit error rate (BER). It has been observed that CRZ modulation format and EDFA-SOA shows the best results. It has been reported that EDFA-SOA/CRZ modulation format can achieve BER as better as e-13, which gives best performance. The effect of channel spacing on SDWDM system and performance degradation due to crosstalk is also evaluated.

AbstractData rates in optical fiber networks have increased exponentially over the past decades and core-networks are expected to operate in the peta-bit-per-second regime by 2030. As current single-mode fiber-based transmission systems are reaching their capacity limits, space-division multiplexing has been investigated as a means to increase the per-fiber capacity. Of all space-division multiplexing fibers proposed to date, multi-mode fibers have the highest spatial channel density, as signals traveling in orthogonal fiber modes share the same fiber-core. By combining a high mode-count multi-mode fiber with wideband wavelength-division multiplexing, we report a peta-bit-per-second class transmission demonstration in multi-mode fibers. This was enabled by combining three key technologies: a wideband optical comb-based transmitter to generate highly spectral efficient 64-quadrature-amplitude modulated signals between 1528 nm and 1610 nm wavelength, a broadband mode-multiplexer, based on multi-plane light conversion, and a 15-mode multi-mode fiber with optimized transmission characteristics for wideband operation.

The constantly growing needs in terms of speed and bandwidth, especially all services using data has become greedy. Today optical fiber is the medium of choice for many advantages over others channels. although the optical fiber has taken the label of transmission channels, we won’t be able to do without its nonlinear character and dispersions, which are part of the major problems during optical transmission. In this article, we are presenting the use of optical solitons in the fiber optic link, with a particular way; we have considered two kind of links, the underground one and the overhead one, in the first link, we have applied optical soliton in order to just take into account the optical Kerr effect. And for the overhead link, we can transmit for short distance by using the return to zero modulation’s format and the use of optical Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA). The solitons which are the impulses, capable of propagating in the nonlinear optical fiber and dispersive without any distortion; to justify our hypothesis, we compare a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) without soliton and the dense wavelength division multiplexing with solitons; we notice that, the link with soliton is better than the first because the pulse keeps its shape from the source up to the destination, its eye diagram is opened which means there is no much noises. After the simulations in Matlab and optisystem software, we went to Congo telecom, to do our test with the optical time-domain reflectometer (OTDR), for both installations. From that study while transmitting over 100km it is better to use optical solitons with the high speed.
