Comparative Analysis of Power Penalty versus Crosstalk in Optical Active Network Components like Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier, Raman Amplifier and Semiconductor Optical Amplifier
Abstract: AbstractOptical amplifiers boost the power of optical system without optoelectronics (O-E-O) conversion. The optical amplification process is accompanied by Amplified Spontaneous Emission (ASE) noise that accumulates along the transmission line and degrades the optical signal to noise ratio (OSNR). Intensity modulation in one channel causes crosstalk in the other channel via the change of the complex refractive index in the amplifier. In this paper, authors tried to calculate and compare …
