The effects of optical fiber impairments on communication systems

Abstract


In this paper, the influence of physical layer impairments on fiber optic channels was evaluated using analytical modeling, and the findings were verified through simulation results. Light propagation inside standard single mode fiber (SSMF) is affected by both linear and nonlinear effects, which must be taken into account in order to develop an appropriate fiber channel model. The use of nonlinear fiber optics in the implementation of highcapacity optical networks is crucial. The "Optisystem 17.0" software package was used to simulate the suggested systems. It can be observed that increased input power tends to increase the effect of cross-phase modulation (XPM) and four wave mixing (FWM) in the nonlinear dispersive fibers. The impact of pulse broadening due to chromatic dispersion (CD), self-phase modulation (SPM), and cross-phase modulation (XPM) was investigated using Gaussian pulses as input signals.
