Abstract

In this paper, the 16 channel WDM systems at 10 Gb/s have been investigated for the various optical amplifiers and hybrid optical amplifiers and the performance has been compared on the basis of transmission distance and dispersion. The amplifiers EDFA and SOA have been investigated independently and further compared with hybrid optical amplifiers like RAMAN-EDFA and RAMAN-SOA. It is observed that hybrid optical amplifier RAMAN-EDFA provides the highest output power (12.017 and 12.088 dBm) and least bit error rate (10−40 and 9.08 × 10−18) at 100 km for dispersion 2 ps/nm/km and 4 ps/nm/km respectively.
