Simulative Analysis of Various Mitigation Schemes in WDM Optical Network

Abstract

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.
