ANALYSE TH EORIQUE DE L'INFLUENCE DES SOA EN PR ESENCE DE SIGNAUX OPTIQUES OFDM DANS LES SYST EMES DE TRANSMISSION A R ECEPTION COH ERENTE

In this work, we study theoretically and by simulation the influence of SOA's nonlinearities on the amplification of optical signals in the context of OFDM transmission systems with coherent reception. We present the co-simulation environment developed for this study, for both transmission and reception. This platform also enables to study the amplification of several complex optical modulation formats of the optical carrier.
