WDM-Based 160 Gbps Radio Over Fiber System With the Application of Dispersion Compensation Fiber and Fiber Bragg Grating

The demand for data transmission is rising expensively for the applications of biomedical sensors data, multimedia technologies, and ultrahigh-definition online video streaming. Such applications require larger bandwidth with minimum latency and seamless service delivery. Radio-over-fiber (RoF), integrated with wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) technology, is being considered one of the promising technologies. However, the integration of optical fiber and wireless communication also generates non-linear effects as and when the number of users increases. That results in the introduction of signal noise, unwanted frequencies, low quality of signals, and increased latency. In this paper, a 16-channel 160 Gbps data rate WDM-based RoF system has been simulated and evaluated for optimum performance at a variable input power level, from 5 to −15 dBm, with the application of dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) and fiber Bragg grating (FBG), with channel spacing of 50 and 100 GHz. The performance of the system is evaluated with the existing WDM-RoF system. The performance metrics parameters chosen for evaluation are bit error rate (BER), quality factor (Q-factor), and eye diagrams and simulated on opti-system simulator. The optimum performance has been observed at a power level of −5 dBm for all these elected evaluation parameters. It has also been observed that, for channel spacing of 100 GHz, the network performed better in comparison with 50 GHz.

Simulative Analysis of Various Mitigation Schemes in WDM Optical Network

The growth of optical systems is stimulated for high channel capacity and high bandwidth to meet the explosive development in data communication. Most of the voice and data traffic is transmitted through optical fiber link in these days. In order to share the large bandwidth of optical fiber by multiple channels of different wavelength with higher data rate WDM networks are used. The performance WDM networks are highly effected by the nonlinear dispersion which needs to be managed. In this paper the performance of WDM optical network is analyzed by using Dispersion compensation fiber, fiber bragg grating, and polarization controller. It has been concluded from the results that the use of polarization controller provides the high quality output as compare to Dispersion compensation fiber, fiber bragg grating for each channel.

Performance Investigation of Different Dispersion Compensation Methods in Optical Fiber Communication

In optical fiber Communication system dispersion compensation has become one of the major topics of importance and research nowadays. This is because any presence of dispersion might leads to pulse spreading which might cause inters symbolic interference (ISI) and which leads to signal degradation. In this paper six different model are considered for dispersion compensation. Dispersion compensation fiber (DCF) is used to design first three models by using its three different configurations of pre-compensation, post-compensation, symmetrical compensation and Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), uniform FBG, IDCFBG are used for designing rest of three dispersion compensation models. Single channel optical system length of 100 km with data rate of 2.5 Gbps and 10 Gbps is used to design each model and is simulated by using optisystem software package. All the designs are compared with respect to the quality factor (Q-factor) and bit error rate (BER). With the outcome of the simulations results it is seen that post–compensation DCF model is the promising approach.
