The Physical Parameters of EDFA and SOA Optical Amplifiers and Bit Sequence Variations Based Optical Pulse Generators Impact on the Performance of Soliton Transmission Systems

Abstract

Abstract This study has outlined the effects of physical parameters of erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA), semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) on the performance of amplified soliton transmission systems. Injection current-based SOA, EDFA length is taken into account. It is observed that the optimum soliton power and signal per noise ratio are achieved with 5 m EDFA length and 900 mA injection current-based SOA. As well as the bit sequence variations based user defined bit sequence generator are employed in order to measure the soliton transmission system performance. The signal per noise ratio is enhanced with 4 bit sequence. Soliton peak power, output soliton power, and maximum Q-factor are optimized with 8 bit sequence for soliton propagation length of 150 km and possible transmission data rates of 160 Gb/s. Improvement percentage ratio in soliton peak power by using two amplification techniques a long propagation length is deeply stimulated with optiwave simulation program.
