Simulation codes for optically amplified transmission systems: evaluation and comparison of system performances at 1300 and 1500 nm

摘要

In this work we show the potentiality of numerical modelling in evaluating and optimizing the performance of optically amplified communication systems. The reliability of the developed numerical coded has been successfully tested in the framework of European projects in the telecommunications area (COST and ACTS projects) by comparison with analytical theories and experimental measurements. We present also a survey of the main strategies proposed to achieve very high capacity transmission systems, trying to draw some general guidelines for different systemistic solutions.
