Hello everyone,

Can you please tell me how can I simulate optical frequency comb in DWDM system? I have generated the comb lines but when i transmit them at receiver end through 75km fiber it doesn’t work properly. I didn’t get any response at the eye diagram. Would u please tell me how can i get the intial response in De-mux? There is some much noise in the comb so how can I reduce it?

-Thank you

Hi guys.

I wonder if you can help me…
I would like to create a set of input fields, something like WDM sort of scheme, on OptiFDTD. I have tried with Multiple Fields utility but the bandwidth is so narrow (when compared to carrier frequency) that the Input Field Manager can hardly manage it without error or is simply not able to plot it within the plot window. Plus, if there is a way of doing it not by hand, it would be even better…

So, is it possible to create the Input Fields set through VB script or any other way? If so, would you point me in the right direction, please?

Thank you in advance.

I am working on DP-QPSK coherent system.I want to draw graph between OSNR and BER for the system. I read from the forum discussions that osnr can be calculated using wdm analyzer and ber from ber test set and then draw the graph but how can i change the values of osnr to get the graph as the wdm analyzer is displaying the single value of osnr at certain power. kindly tell me how can i change the values of osnr of wdm analyzer.
I also find the relation between osnr and ber from forum discussions– Log10 (BER) = 10.7-1.45 (OSNR).is this formula is applicable for all dual polarized modulation formats i.e dp-qpsk or dp-16qam.if not kindly tell me the relaion for different modulation formats.

Abstract—We successfully demonstrate 40 GB/s 8 channels’ Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) over free space optical (FSO) communication system. Each channel is transmitting 5 GB/s data rate in downstream separated by 0.8nm (100GHz) channel spacing with 1.8GHz filter bandwidth. DWDM over FSO communication system is very effective in providing high data rate transmission with very low bit error rate (BER). The maximum reach of designed system is 4000m without any compensation scheme. The simulation work reports minimum BER for Return-to-Zero (RZ) modulation format at different channels 1, 4, and 8 are found to be 2.32.

Thanks to Sushank Chaudhary of InterNetworks Research Lab for submitting this application note on FSO Communications using OptiSystem.

Hi Everyone,
Am a new member in this forum and having a problem of simulation. I currently working on a project on fiber and wish that someone should help me with all the detail on how to design and simulate a WDM PON network architecture for an ftth deployment using optisystem or if possible direct me to a video tutorial.
thanks in advance.

Further i want to add that because of its high isolation and low insertion loss, optical circulators are widely used in advanced communication systems as add-drop multiplexers, bi-directional pumps, and chromatic dispersion compensation devices.The example to the left depicts the use of a circulator to drop an optical channel from a DWDM system using a Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG). The input DWDM channels are coupled into Port 1 of the device with a FBG device connected to Port 2. The single wavelength reflected from the FBG then reenters the circulator in port 2 and is routed accordingly to Port 3. The remaining signals pass through the FBG and exit on the top fiber.Circulators can also be used to send optical signal in two directions down a single fiber. A circulator is located at both ends of the fiber. Each circulator functions to add a signal in one direction while removing the signal in the other. See the example to the right.
Here are few more links which can prove very useful to you.

I want to add that the integrated semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) with a reflective electro-absorption modulator (REAM) is a promising candidate for the colorless optical network unit in a wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON), due to its low chirp and wide bandwidth. However, 40 Gb/s operation of REAMs (bandwidth <; 20 GHz) still encounters severe intersymbol interference. Furthermore, Rayleigh backscattering (RB) and discrete reflections cause strong beat noise in WDM-PONs with single-fiber loopback configuration. In this paper, we present two novel techniques based on electrical equalization for a 40-Gb/s single-feeder WDM-PON based on SOA-REAM. The first method is to employ partial-response (PR) signaling and a noise predictive maximum likelihood (NPML) equalizer at the upstream receiver. The other one combines correlative level (CL) pre-coding with partial-response maximum likelihood (PRML) equalization. We experimentally demonstrate a 40-Gb/s uplink of 20 km using a 20-GHz SOA-REAM in a WDM-PON by both PR-NPML and CL-PRML. The results also verify the superiority of PR-NPML over the previously reported equalizers. Moreover, compared with PR-NPML, CL-PRML further improves the system performance. Experiments prove that the tolerance to beat noise and the receiver sensitivity are enhanced by 4 dB and 0.8 dB, respectively, at a bit error ratio of 2 × 10-4.

Also DWDM PON architectures are of high interest and are on the way to becoming commercially realized, the bandwidth can be substantially scaled up compared to common PON networks concepts. AWG based structures for MUX/DEMUX applications in WDM-PON networks are ideal, adapting perfectly to PON architectures, allowing cyclic character and are leveraging the state of the art PLC processing techniques. The recent progress of AWG design concepts for DWDM PON architectures and their athermal packaging techniques, now suitable for mass production in low cost manufacturing countries, are discussed. The state of the art reliability performance for industrial and in particular DWDM PON applications are demonstrated. AWG based DWDM PON network architectures are elaborated comparing other existing PON network concepts.And as fas as theoretical aspect of the implementation is concerned i agree with karan ahuja that OFDM has the ability to transmit information with high data rates which has made it popular. OFDM has been used in many different applications in the RF domain
such as digital audio broadcasting (DAB), digital video broadcasting (DVB), and Wireless Local Area Networking (WLAN). OFDM was introduced to
optical domain in 2005, and has since been studied and investigated in two main techniques classified according to the detection scheme. The first technique is the direct detection optical OFDM (DDOFDM) and the second technique is the coherent optical OFDM (CO-OFDM). A direct detection optical OFDM aims for simpler transmitter or receiver than CO-OFDM for lower costs. DD-OFDM has an advantage that it is more immune to impulse clipping noise.

Hi Ranjeet.
I would like to mention that the wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) has been generally regarded as a promising solution to the next-generation access network that will be required to deliver services over 40 Gb/s. However, fiber dispersion often limits the capacity and reach of WDM-PONs. Compared with dispersion compensation fiber, which is bulky and expensive with significant power loss, digital signal processing is a more suitable way to mitigate chromatic dispersion in PONs. Furthermore, expense is a critical concern in the WDM-PON, due to its need for a large number of lasers and a complex wavelength control mechanism. One practical solution is to reuse the downstream (DS) signal as the carrier for the upstream (US) modulation. In this case, the residual DS signal after remodulation can seriously degrade US transmission. In addition, system performance can be deteriorated by the unwanted reflection as uplinks and downlinks share one wavelength. In this paper, we propose using modified duobinary (MD) coding in the DS to improve its dispersion tolerance and reduce the crosstalk between DS and US induced by remodulation and reflection. MD is a correlative level code that can reduce signal bandwidth and achieve DC balance. We demonstrate a 15 km WDM-PON delivering a 40 Gb/s MD-coded signal in the downlink and a 10 Gb/s on-off keying signal in the uplink. Compared with no coding, the maximal allowable extinction ratio of the DS signal (ERd) is improved by 4 dB. Moreover, the reflection tolerance of the uplink and downlink is enhanced by 5 and 4 dB, respectively. In addition, investigations on the use of different equalizers in the DS to further suppress fiber dispersion confirm that the superior performance of nonlinear equalization in MD-coded transmission and that the network reach can be extended to 25 km by a nonlinear decision feedback equalizer.
Hope this will give you an idea.

Hi

I agree that Fiber amplifiers used in WDM systems usually make use of control systems as power or gain. Designs Er-doped fiber amplifiers by considering numerical solutions of the rate and the propagation equations under stationary conditions. The model includes amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) as observed in the amplifier Erbium Doped Fiber.
The main difference is related to the amplifier pump scheme selection. You can choose co-propagating, counter-propagating, or bi-directional pump schemes with the option to set wavelength and pump power. Geometrical Er-doped fiber parameters and cross-section curves are required as input files. As output files, you can access gain, output power values, and noise figure determined in the ASE bandwidth set as noise input data.
Enables the design of amplifiers, including EDFAs, that consider pre-defined operational conditions. This means that expected gain, noise figure, and amplifier output power can be previously specified. The amplifier presents the same facilities as a black box model, which enables you to select the operation mode with gain control, power control, or to perform simulations under saturated conditions, as well as define the expected amplifier performance. It is specially suited to perform prompt performance analysis of one or cascaded amplifiers in a long-haul system.

Hello.

As far as tunable lasers are concerned i want to mention that Tunable lasers have been the subject of considerable interest ever since the start of the wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) revolution. In this paper, we bring together views on tunable lasers from different types of companies in the value chain, from operators to laser manufacturers. The purpose is to give an overview of the state of the art in both deployment and development, as well as to try to predict trends over the coming years. A tunable laser is a laser whose wavelength of operation can be altered in a controlled manner. While all laser gain media allow small shifts in output wavelength, only a few types of lasers allow continuous tuning over a significant wavelength range.There are many types and categories of tunable lasers. They exist in the gas, liquid, and solid state. Among the types of tunable lasers are excimer lasers, gas lasers (such as CO2 and He-Ne lasers), dye lasers (liquid and solid state), transition metal solid-state lasers, semiconductor crystal and diode lasers, and free electron lasers. Tunable lasers find applications in spectroscopy,photochemistry, atomic vapor laser isotope separation, and optical communications.
I am providing link of a paper you may refer to it.
