WDM Optical Network Analysis using EDFA and Raman Amplifier

Tushar Krishna Yaratha, Nitesh Reddy, Aarthi G.

Abstract :

 Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) is a technique where optical signals with different wavelengths are combined, transmitted together, and separated again. WDM is used for optical fiber communications to transmit data in several channels with slightly different wavelengths. This paper’s purpose is to design a simulation of WDM Optical Network using Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) and Raman Amplifier. The simulation is done primarily in terms of length and pump power. The simulation is done using Optisystem software to achieve gain flatness; Bit Error Rate (BER) and noise figure of EDFA through optimized fiber length and pump power. The performance of EDFA is also compared with that of Raman Amplifier.
