Performance Enhancement of DWDM Optical Fiber Communication Systems Based on Amplification Techniques

Abstract

This paper deals with improving transmission properties of a DWDM system based on amplification techniques. Parameter values change due to a change in the type of optical amplifier or an adjustment of the parameters of the optical amplifiers. Optimization summarizes the knowledge of the systems and software that are used. These assumptions are verified by a set of simulations and the obtained numerical values are compared with the values given in the relevant articles. The proposed design, which uses a larger number of EDFA amplifiers over long distances, has been found to perform better than single amplifier systems. In addition, the proposed solution is better in transmission characteristics than other approaches with a similar purpose.
