Abstract
This paper presents an investigation on the performance of an optical network in terms of crosstalk based on optical add drop multiplexers with Mach–Zehnder interferometer (MZI), MZI-semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and MZI-fiber Braggs gratings (FBG) techniques obtained at 8 × 10 Gbps with 0.1 nm channel spacing wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) transmission with optical add drop multiplexer (OADM) placed at the 20 km point of a 40 km link. It is found that the signal can be transmitted with least BER and better Q-factor with MZI-FBG based OADM and the worst case is found with the MZI-SOA based OADM.
