Abstract:
The high bit rate of data is transmitted for longer distances by using Dense
wavelength division multiplexing. Dense wavelength division multiplexing is mainly
affected by the Stimulated Raman scattering effect of optical nonlinearity. This effect
transfer energy from a lower wavelength to a higher wavelengt h as the result the Quality
factor decreases and BER increases. This thesis analyzes the performance and
characteristics of SRS in the DWDM fiber communication system at 10x10Gbps using the
combined effect of a Hybrid amplifier namely Raman + SOA and Raman + EDFA that
connected in parallel with the modulated scheme of RZ, NRZ, and Duobineary at its
maximum transmission distance. SRS effect is studied for various power levels of each
combination (hybrid amplifier and modulation scheme) by simulating using Opt i system
software tools. Raman + EDFA and Raman + SOA transmit the signal up to 130Km
however, Raman + EDFA with RZ and Duobinary modulator have minimum BER and
high-quality factor than Raman + SOA for the input power of less than or equal to 14 and
12 dBm respectively .
