Design and Performance Analysis of DWDM-PON

Abstract

This paper presents on the design and analysis of Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Network (DWDM-PON) which is the upcoming trend technology nowadays to transmit up to 40 Gbps data. Various modulation techniques such as Non-Return Zero (NRZ), Return-Zero (RZ) and duo binary coding are simulated in this DWDM-PON. Using OptiSystem software, DWDM-PON is designed and simulated for 32 channels with spacing of 100 GHz and bit rate of 10 Gbps. An Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) and Dispersion - Compensating Fiber (DCF) is deployed in the DWDM design. It is found that duo binary modulation technique gives the best performance with minimum BER of 2.66x10-19. From the simulation result, it also found that the proposed DWDM PON design is suitable to be deployed for current network.
