Placement of hybrid optical amplifier in fiber optical communication systems

Abstract In this paper, we investigated the post-, pre- and symmetrical power compensation methods for a different position of hybrid optical amplifier RAMAN–EDFA in fiber link. The effect of increase in signal input power for three power compensation methods is compared in terms of bit error rate, eye closure penalty and output received power. It is found that the post power compensation method is superior to pre- and symmetrical power compensation methods. Further, the effect of variation in length of the standard single mode fiber and dispersion-compensated fiber for three power compensation configurations has also been observed. We observed that RAMAN–EDFA as post power compensation method provides least bit error rate (10−40) and high output power (12 dBm) at −15 dBm signal input power at fiber link.
