Performance Comparison Of Optical Amplifiers And their Hybrid Configurations In 8x10 Gbps WDM Based Optical Network

Abstract- Some conditions and requirements are not fulfilled by the individual amplifiers, so to accomplish various goals, hybrid configurations of amplifiers are designed. These hybrid amplifiers are composed with combination of (EDFA-SOA, RAMAN-EDFA, RAMAN-SOA) different amplifiers. In this paper we have investigated the performance of different amplifiers with 8 channel transmitter at data speed of 10 Gbits/s with constant attenuation value.2 dB/km. Performance is analyzed on the basis of Quality factor, eye opening, eye closure, jitter, bit error rate(BER).Different combinations provide better result that are suitable for efficient optical communication
