Evaluation of a 4-Channel WDM-PON System with Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier for High Bandwidth Applications.

This research explores Wavelength Division Multiplexing Passive Optical Networks (WDM-PON) with Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) to meet the growing demand for highbandwidth applications. Using Optsim software, the proposed system is simulated for 4-channels WDMPON. The paper presents a comparison of WDMPON performance with and without EDFA amplifiers. It is to be proven that in inclusion of EDFA in the WDM-PON system will significantly improve the system's output power, reduce bit error rate (BER) and enhance the quality factor (Q-factor) with enhanced input parameters like higher fiber length up to 50 Km. The area of EDFA will also be optimized for improving system performance. The bitrate will also be increased to meet modern requirements of higher bandwidth. With EDFA, the WDM-PON system will perform better in the terms of error rate and signal amplification. The design involves parameters like bitrate, laser power, fiber length, modulation type, attenuated power, etc. WDM-PON with EDFA shows great potential for applications like high-speed data transmission systems for Internet applications. System is to be designed for higher bitrate with dispersion compensation and higher fiber length. The Goal is to achieve lower BER even at high distance of communication. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
