Abstract:
A noteworthy technological advancement in optical fiber transmission systems is the optical
fiber communication system. It has a transmitter, medium, and detector modules
within it. A laser is utilized as a carrier of light signals at the transmitter end. Achieving
huge data in the form of Gb/s along with long-distance transmission is what is needed
in long-haul communication. There are different techniques to meet this huge data rate
of optical fiber communication systems, such as using HOA, a gain flattening filter, and
fiber Bragg gratings (FBG). Quadrature Amplitude Modulation (QAM), Optical Amplifiers,
and DWDM MUX at the transmitter and DWDM DEMUX receiver at the receiver
module. This research work focuses on the design and analysis of C+L band gain flattening.
The C-band, or conventional band, supports wavelengths from 1530nm to 1565nm.
Whereas, the long band (L band) supports the wavelength window from 1565nm to
1625nm.
In the digital modulation schemes, QAM is used for symbol generation due to its higher
spectral efficiency, efficient bandwidth, and robustness to interference and noise compared
to other digital modulation techniques.Performance metrics for the C band, L band, and
C+L band have been explicitly studied and analyzed. With the system generic modal
designed, the gain variation under varying input laser power has been recorded at -10 dBm
and is approximately 21.6140207 % from 14.144527 dB to 17.201728 dB for the L band
wavelength window. At 60 km OFC distance, we recorded the highest gain in the C band
wavelength window. In percentile, the corresponding variation is roughly 18.79783463
% from 13.251122 dB user 1 to 15.742046 dB user 16.With varying values, the hybrid
optical amplifier for 32 users, which includes the Raman optical amplifier,the gain varies
19.951204 dB to 25.310008 dB tends to vary the gain flatness 26.8595519 %.The best
gain flatness, therefore, is found in hybrid optical amplifiers. Using the designed system,
the BER versus distance, gain vs. EDFA length, OSNR versus distance, bit errors versus
distance, and more parameters will be analyzed and demonstrated.
