Analyzing DWDM System with Different Modulation Formats and Channel Spacing
Keyword(s):
Abstract Different modulation formats for 64×20-GB/s dense wavelength division multiplexed (DWDM) system has been compared and simulated using Optsim. Various performance parameters including Q-factor, bit error rate, jitter, eye opening & eye closure are observed and analyzed. It is reported that RZ Soliton format is a better choice among the tested formats. Also, for the proposed system, minimum channel spacing should be 50 GHz.
