In this paper, we propose a dispersion compensation model to minimize the chromatic dispersion to enhance system performance. The proposed model is based on applying the duobinary modulation scheme on 4-stages of cascaded identical apodized uniform fiber Bragg grating. Different apodization functions are tested to determine the one that provides the best performance. The proposed model is connected in three different connection schemes: pre, post and symmetrical, to get the best connection. To evaluate the performance of the proposed system, a comparative study is conducted using non-return to zero (NRZ) and modified duobinary (MDB) modulation schemes. For evaluation, a 10 Gbps WDM link is simulated at a distance of 100 km under a set of predefined operating parameters. Optisystem 17.0 is used for simulation and evaluation. Both quality factor (Q-factor) and bit error rate (BER) are used as performance indices. All cases of NRZ modulation scheme do not meet the minimum operational requirements in terms of Q-factor and BER. Only in the case of MDB modulation scheme, the symmetrical compensation with tanh apodization meets the minimum operational requirements with a Q-factor of 6.39 and BER of 8.44 × 10–11. The proposed model achieves better results as compared to the other modulation schemes: a maximum Q-factor values of 8.964 and a BER of 1.3 × 10–19 with tanh apodization in the pre-compensation scheme. As compared to related work, the system performance achieves ~ 99% improvement.
The aim of this study is to present a proposed chromatic dispersion compensation model for single mode optical fiber. The proposed model consists of 4-stages of cascaded identical linear chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) in post-compensation connection scheme. It is based on differential phase shift keying modulation format. To evaluate the performance of the proposed model, a comparative study is conducted using offset quadrature phase shift keying modulation technique. This comparative study includes four cases with and without using CFBG. For system performance evaluation, a 10 Gbps wavelength division multiplexing link is simulated at a distance of 70 km under conventional operating parameters. Optisystem 7.0 has been used for simulation and evaluation process. Quality factor (Q-factor) and bit error rate (BER) are used as evaluation metrics. The proposed model shows the best performance in case of using CFBG compared to the other cases. A maximum Q-factor of 7.22, and a corresponding minimum BER of 2.59 × 10−13are obtained. The proposed system performance is enhanced by at least 53% as compared to related work.
