performance of the 40 Gbps single span optical network is analyzed. Finally, we conclude the paper in Section 4.

network is the increasing demand of bandwidth and data rates. This rapid increase in data traffic in communication system has accelerated the development of high capacity optical fiber links, and the main barriers across these links are the dispersion and various nonlinear effects. Even the transmission limit is influenced due to distinctive scattering issues and power attenuation existing in optical fiber. In this paper optical fiber link at different transmission distance upto 300km is studied using two different modulation schemes. Paper shows the comparative analysis of two modulation schemes Non-Return to Zero (NRZ) and Return to Zero (RZ) for an optical network. The performance analysis is done on the basis of BER, Q-factor and Eye Diagram. Performance of link weakens as the transmission distance increases. It is observed that RZ gives better performance compared to NRZ modulation.

II. DESIGN AND SIMULATION SETUP Proposed algorithm consists of a transmitter section with different modulation schemes (RZ and NRZ), optical fiber, receiver section and a BER analyzer to analyze the output result. The transmitter section consists of pseudo random bit sequence generator, optical source and Mach Zender modulator. In transmission channel single mode fiber and dispersion compensating fiber along with optical amplifier is used. The length of the optical Single Mode Fiber (SMF) is varied and in accordance with the length of Dispersion Compensating Fiber (DCF) will vary respectively according to the equation

Where, DSMF = Dispersion Coefficient of Single Mode Fiber LSMF = Length of Single Mode Fiber DDCF = Dispersion Coefficient of Dispersion Compensating Fiber LDCF = Length of Dispersion Compensating Fiber

In single channel transmission the RZ coded transmission achieves high performance because SPM can be compensated with fiber dispersion effects. In this modern time, the increasing traffic demands require larger bandwidth for high data rate communication. The high data rate transmission requires an increase in input launch power. In this paper, performance analysis of an optical communication system for 40 Gbps single mode transmission is done. When we deal with high data rate optical communication systems using SMF, the RZ transmission is suited well than NRZ because RZ has more compressed pulse version as compared to NRZ. EDFA optical amplifiers are used for the amplification of optical signals at various lengths of SMF. The transmission distance is limited by dispersion and non linear effects. In order to abolish dispersion effect, dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) is used in channel of an optical communication system.

Out of the three DCF compensation techniques, we have simulated our link using symmetric dispersion compensation configuration. In receiver section PIN photodetector for converting optical signal to electrical signal is used followed by band pass filter. In order to analyze the impact of nonlinearities on the optical fiber communication system, the transmission length of the optical system is varied. The result is analyzed using BER analyzer. The simulation parameters are given as follows:

The rest of the paper is organized as follows. Section 2 presents the architecture of simulated optical high speed system. And a 40 Gbps optical link is constructed and simulated by using Optisystem. In Section 3, the © 2017, IRJET
