Evaluation of Various Hybrid Optical Amplifiers Performance
In this work, the performance of various hybrid optical amplifiers in high-capacity optical communication systems is evaluated. By combining the benefits of multiple types of amplifiers, such as Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFA), Raman, and Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers enhance the quality of signals and extend the transmission distance. We consider significant performance parameters such as gain, noise figure and bit error rate with respect to different HOA configurations in a 300 Gbps WDM system. Simulation data suggests that certain hybrid combinations even outperform the conventional single-amplifier arrangements. These findings can be used to show how HOA can tune next-generation optical networks to support high speed and long-distance data transmission.
