Abstract:
Optic fibre is one of the most popular medium used in communication to
propagate light through a glass (wave guide). In the future communication
industry it require high data rate and Wave length multiplexing (WDM) and
densewave lengthmultiplexing (DWDM) are the best alternative type of optical
fibre that can carry multiple services with high data rate. Right this time
WDM/DWDM is more preferable due to several advantages, but it has also
several limitations of non-linear effects like Self-Phase Modulation (SPM),
Cross-Phase Modulation (XPM) and Four-Wave Mixing (FWM) may occur.
In this thesis, the WDM 100GHz channel spacing /DWDM 50GHz channel
spacing are analysed with the following input parameters; varying Bit rate (5,
10 and 15) Gb/s,varying input power (0, 5 and 10)dBm and with Bessel optical
filter (BOF) and Gaussian optical filters (GOF) at Optical fiber length (0-60)
km without EDFA and (0-180)km with EDFA has been done to investigate the
maximum bit rate by reducing channel over lapping probability .
In this research analysis the architecture model that uses two separate DWDM,
DWDM1 and DWDM2 combined with power combiner and the channel
spacing between the twomultiplexers (MUX) is 100GHz has good performance
than other models. Opti-System simulator is used for verifying various
measurements, plots and all other graphical analysis.
