Performance analysis of WDM system using SOA for high data rate transmission

Abstract

In this manuscript, we have transmitted at different data rates i.e. 20 Gbps, 40 Gbps, 80 Gbps, 100 Gbps to 16 users using SOA amplifier. The frequency and power of WDM transmitters has been taken at 190 THz and 3.99 dBm respectively. The injection current of 0.5 A has been applied to the amplifier. It has been observed that the average BER for 4, 8, 12 and16 users against the fiber length at data rate of 20 Gbps - 100 Gbps.
