Overview

Simulation study demonstrates improved signal quality in 160 km DWDM systems using hybrid DCF and FBG dispersion compensation, highlighting a viable solution for long-haul optical networks.

Key Points

Assess the performance improvements of a hybrid dispersion compensation scheme combining dispersion compensating fiber (DCF) and fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) in a dense wavelength division multiplexing (DWDM) optical communication system.
Simulated a DWDM optical transmission system across a 160 km distance.
Evaluated performance using quality factor (Q-factor), bit error rate (BER), and optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) across hybrid, FBG-only, DCF-only, and uncompensated configurations.
At 160 km, the hybrid DCF-FBG scheme reached a Q-factor of ~7, compared to ~4.2 for FBG, ~2.2 for DCF, and ~0.8 for the uncompensated system.
Hybrid compensation reduced the bit error rate to 10⁻⁸, compared to 10⁻⁷ for FBG, 5 × 10⁻⁷ for DCF, and 10⁻⁶ for uncompensated links.
The hybrid design yielded an OSNR of approximately 28 dB, improving upon FBG (22 dB), DCF (18 dB), and uncompensated transmission (12 dB).
