Abstract:

This paper analyzesoptical fiber amplifiers namelyRaman amplifiers RAs, semiconductor optical amplifiers SOAs,Erbium doped fiber amplifiers EDFAs and their Hybrid configurations, namely EDFA-EDFA, EDFA-SOA, Raman-SOA and Raman-EDFA. The hybrid optical amplifiers operating at a bit rate of 10 Gb/s for 96 channels are simulated using OptSim and their Qfactor, output power, eye opening, eye closure and bit error rate are compared by varyingtransmission distances from 60 to 180 km and keeping the dispersion constant at 2 ps/nm/km both in the presence and absence of non-linearities. Furthermore, we go through some of the main characteristics of these amplifiers and superiority of Hybrid optical amplifiers over the basic optical amplifiers. Each type of amplifier is suitable for certain applications depending on these characteristics and the transmission distance.

Keywords:

BER, dispersion, Hybrid optical amplifier, non-linearities.
