OPTICAL FIBER COMMUNICATION
1.1 INTRODUCTION
Today’s communication has very important role in life. For better communication we
need transmission medium offering large capacity with low communication losses.
The optical fiber is the only transmission medium offering such large bandwidth upto
GHz. To amplify an optical signal with a conventional repeater, one performs optical
to electrical conversion, electrical amplification, pulse shaping, and then electrical to
again optical conversion. Another way is that to amplify optical signal by using the
optical amplifiers which operates completely in the optical domain to boost(amplify)
the power levels of multiple light wave signals over spectral bands of 30 nm. Optical
amplifiers can amplify signals at different wavelength simultaneously. Optical fiber
communications typically operate in a wavelength region corresponding to one of the
following “telecom windows. The first window at 800–900 nm was originally used
GaAs/AlGaAs-based laser diodes and light emitting diodes (LEDs) served as
transmitters, and silicon photodiodes were suitable for the receivers . However, the
fiber losses are relatively high in this fiber amplifiers are not well developed for this
spectral region.
1.2 EVOLUTION OF OPTICAL FIBER
Therefore, the first telecom window is suitable only for short distance transmission.
The second telecom window utilizes wavelengths around 1.3 μm, where the loss of
silica fibers is much lower and the fibers chromatic dispersion is very weak, so that
dispersive broadening is minimized. This window was originally used for long-haul
transmission. However, fiber amplifiers for 1.3μm (based on, e.g. on praseodymium-
doped glass) are not as good as their 1.5-μm counterparts based on erbium. Also, low
dispersion is not necessarily ideal for long-haul transmission, as it can increase the
effect of optical non linearity. The third telecom window, which is now very widely
used, utilizes wavelengths around 1.5μm. The losses of silica fibers are lowest in this
region, and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers are available which offer very high
performance. Fiber dispersion is usually anomalous but can be tailored with great
flexibility (→dispersion-shifted fibers).

1.3 Advantages of optical fiber communications over electrical cables
The capacity of fibers for data transmission is huge: a single silica fiber can carry
hundreds of thousands of telephone channels, utilizing only a small part of the
theoretical capacity . In the last 30 years, the progress concerning transmission
capacities of fiber links has been significantly faster than e.g. the progress in the
speed or storage capacity of computers.
The losses for light propagating in fibers are amazingly small: ∼ 0.2 dB/km for
modern singlemode silica fibers, so that many tens of kilometres can be bridged
without amplifying the signals.
A large number of channels can be re-amplified in a single fiber amplifier, if
required for very large transmission distances .
Due to the huge transmission rate achievable, the cost per transported bit can be
extremely low.
Compared with electrical cables, fiber-optic cables are very lightweight, so that
the cost of laying a fiber-optic cable can be lower.
Fiber-optic cables are immune to problems that arise with electrical cables, such
as ground loops or electromagnetic interference (EMI).
1.4 OPTICAL AMPLIFIERS
Optical amplifiers have really revolutionized the field of fiber optics communication.
Optical amplifiers are in general bit rate transparent and can amplify signals at
different wavelength simultaneously. Optical amplifiers are mainly of two types i.e.
Semiconductor optical amplifiers and Fiber amplifiers . These are further classified
into travelling wave semiconductor optical amplifier, Fabry-perot semiconductor
optical amplifier, Erbium doped fiber amplifier, Raman & Brillouin fiber amplifiers.
All optical amplifiers increase the power level of incident light through a stimulated
emission to occur or an optical power transfer process. In SOAs and EDFAs (erbium
doped fiber amplifiers),the mechanism for creating the population inversion that is
needed for stimulated emission to occur is same as is used in laser diodes. Although
the structure of such an optical amplifier is similar to that of laser, it does not have the
optical feedback mechanism that is necessary for lasing to take place. Thus, an optical
amplifier can boost incoming signal levels, but it cannot generate a coherent output by
itself. The basic operation is shown in Figure, here the device absorbs energy supplied
2
from an external source called the pump. The pump supplies the energy to electrons in
an active medium, which raises them to higher energy levels to produce a population
inversion. An incoming signal photon will trigger these excited electrons to drop to
lower levels through a stimulated emission process. Since one in coming trigger
photon stimulates many excited electrons to emit photons of equal energy as they
drop to the ground state, the result is an amplified optical signal.
Figure1.1: Generic Optical Fibers
1.4.1 Principle & Theory
To achieve optical amplification, the population of upper energy level has to be
greater than that of lower energy level, i.e. N2> N1, where N1, N2 is population
density of lower and upper state . This condition is known as population inversion.
This can be achieved by exciting electron into higher energy level by external source
called pumping. Stimulated emission occur, when incident photon having energy E=
hc/λ interact with electron in upper energy state causing it return to lower state with
creation of second photon, where h is Plank constant, c is velocity of light and λ is the
wavelength of light . So light amplification occurs, when incident photon & emitted
photon are in phase and release two more photon, continuation of this process
effectively creates avalanche multiplication. Therefore amplified coherent emission is
obtained.
1.5 Types of Optical Amplifiers
Optical amplifiers were classified on the basis of device characteristics i.e. whether it
is based on:
3
Figure1.2: Types Of Optical Amplifiers
In-line Optical Amplifiers
In a single-mode link, the effects of fiber dispersion may be small so that the main
limitation to repeater spacing is fibre attenuation. Since such a link does not
necessarily require a complete regeneration of the signal, simple amplification of the
optical signal is sufficient. Thus, an in-line optical amplifier can be used to
compensate for transmission loss and increase the distance between regenerative
repeaters.
Figure1.3: Inline Optical Amplifier
Preamplifier
Figure shows an optical amplifier being used as a front-end preamplifier for an optical
receiver. Thereby weak optical signal is amplified before photo detection so that the
Signal-to-noise ratio degradation caused by thermal noise in the receiver electronics
can be suppressed. Compared with other frontend devices such as avalanche
photodiodes or optical heterodyne detectors, an optical preamplifier provides a larger
gain factor and a broader bandwidth.
Figure1.4:- Preamplifier
4
Power Amplifier
Power or booster amplifier applications include placing the device immediately after
an optical transmitter to boost the transmitted power, as figure shows [11, 12]. This
serves to increase the transmission distance by 10-100 km depending on the amplifier
gain and fiber loss. As an example, using the boosting technique together with an
optical pre-amplifier at the receiving end can enable repeater less undersea
transmission distances of 200-250 km. One can also employ an optical amplifier in a
local area network as a booster amplifier to compensate for coupler-insertion loss and
power-splitting loss.
Figure1.5:-booster amplifier
1.5.1 Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers
Semiconductor Optical Amplifiers (SOAs) uses the principle of stimulated emission
to amplify an optical information signal. Optical input signal carrying original data
enters to semiconductor’s active region through coupling. The coupling is required
because the mode field diameter of single mode beam is 9.3Mm, while size of active
region is less. Injection current delivers the external energy to pump elements at
conduction band. The input signal stimulated the transition of electrons down to
valence band & emission of photon with same energy & same wavelength as the input
signal, so amplified optical signal is obtained. SOA is of two types - Fabry –Perot
Amplifier (FPA) & Travelling Wave Amplifier (TWA). Fabry-Perot Amplifier (FPA)
is same as SOA. In this, light entering the active region is reflected several times from
cleaved face & amplified as it leaves the cavity. Travelling Wave Amplifier (TWA) is
the SOA form.
5
Figure1.6: Device Structure Of SOA
Simple SOA are almost the same as regular index-guided FP lasers. The back facet is
pigtailed to allow the input of signal light. The main problem is that it has been
difficult to make SOAs longer than about 450 μm. In this short distance there is not
sufficient gain available on a single pass through the device for useful amplification to
be obtained. One solution to this is to retain the reflective facets (mirrors)
characteristic of laser operation. Typical SOAs have a mirror reflectivity of around
30%. Thus the signal has a chance to reflect a few times within the cavity and obtain
useful amplification. In TWA, there is an active medium without reflective facets, so
that input signal is amplified by a single passage through active region. Practical
active region without reflective facets was made by covering the facets of
semiconductor material by antireflection coating, tilting the active region with respect
to facet and using buffer material between active region & facet to also reduce
reflectance R as small as 10-4.
1.5.2 EDFA AMPLIFIERS:
Definition: (Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifier) A device that boosts the signal in an
optical fiber. Introduced in the late 1980s, the EDFA was the first successful optical
amplifier. It was a major factor in the rapid development of fiber-optic networks in
the 1990s, because it extended the distance between costly regenerators. This EDFA
is designed for the Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM) applications.
The device features excellent gain flatness, low noise figure and wide operating
wavelength range. It also has good network control interface.
1.5.2.1 Setup and Operation Principle
A typical setup of a simple erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is shown in Figure.
Its core is the erbium-doped optical fiber, which is typically a single-mode fiber. In
the shown case, the active fiber is “pumped” with light from two laser diodes
6
(bidirectional pumping), although unidirectional pumping in the forward or backward
direction (co-directional and counter-directional pumping) is also very common.
Figure1.7: Setup of an EDFA Amplifier
The pump light, which most often has a wavelength around 980 nm and sometimes
around 1450 nm, excites the erbium ions (Er3+) into the 4I13/2 state (in the case of 980-
nm pumping via 4I11/2), from where they can amplify light in the 1.5-μm wavelength
region via stimulated emission back to the ground-state manifold 4I15/2. The setup
shown also contains two “pig-tailed” (fiber-coupled) optical isolators. The isolator at
the input prevents light originating from amplified spontaneous emission from
disturbing any previous stages, whereas that at the output suppresses lasing (or
possibly even destruction) if output light is reflected back to the amplifier. Without
isolators, fiber amplifiers can be sensitive to back reflections. Very high signal gains,
as used, e.g., for the amplification of ultra short pulses to high energies, are usually
realized with amplifier chains, consisting of several amplifier stages with additional
optical elements (e.g. isolators, filters, or modulators) in between.
1.5.2.2 AMPLIFICATION MECHANISM
Whereas semiconductor optical amplifiers use external current injection to excite
electrons to higher energy levels, optical fiber amplifiers use optical pumping. In this
process, one use photons it directly raises electrons into excited states. The optical
pumping process requires the use of three energy levels. The top energy level to
which the electron is elevated must lie energetically above the desired lasing level.
After reaching its excited state, the electron must release some of its energy and drop
to the desired lasing level. From this level, a single photon can than trigger the excited
electron into stimulated emission, whereby the electron releases its remaining energy
in the form of a new photon with a wavelength identical to that of single photon .since
the pump photon must have a higher energy than the signal photon, the pump
7
wavelength is shorter than the signal wavelength. To get a phenomenological
understanding of how an EDFA works, we need to look at the energy level structure
of erbium. The erbium atoms in silica are Er3+ ions, which are erbium atoms that have
lost three of their outer electrons.fig shows a simplified energy-level diagram and
various energy-level transition process of these Er3+ ions in silica glass. The two
principal levels for telecommunication applications are a metastable level (the so
called 4I13/2 level) and the 4I11/2 pump level .the term “metastable” means that the
lifetimes for transitions from this state to the ground state are very long compared
with the lifetimes of the states that led to this level. The metastable, the pump and the
ground state levels are actually bands of closely spaced energy levels that form a
manifold due to the effect known as Starks splitting. Furthermost, each stark level is
broadened by thermal effects into an almost continuous band.
1.5.2.3 EDFA Architecture
Optical fiber amplifier consists of a doped fiber ,one or more pump lasers, a passive
wavelength coupler ,optical isolators , and tap couplers as shown in fig. the
dichroic(two-wavelength) coupler handles either 980/1550 nm wavelength
combinations to couple both the pump and signal optical powers efficiently into the
fiber amplifier. The tap couplers are wavelength – insensitive with typical splitting
ratios ranging from 99:1 to 95:5.they is generally used on both sides of the amplifier
to compare the incoming signal with the amplified output. The optical isolators
prevent the amplified signal from reflecting back into the device, where it could
increase the amplifier noise and decrease the amplifier efficiency.
Three possible configurations of an EDFA:
(a) Co-directional pumping
(b) Counter-directional pumping
(c) Dual-pump scheme
The pump light is usually injected from the same direction as the signal flow. This is
known as codirectional pumping. It is also possible to inject the pump power in the
opposite direction to the signal flow, which is known as counter-directional pumping.
As shown in Fig can employ either a single pump source or use dual pump schemes,
the resultant gains typically being +17 db and +35 dB, respectively.
8
Figure1.8:- (a) Co-directional pumping (b) Counter-directional pumping
(c) Dual pumping
.
Counter-directional pumping allows higher gains but co-directional pumping gives
better noise performance. In addition, pumping at 980 nm is preferred, since it
produces less noise and achieves larger population inversion than pumping at 1480
nm.
1.6 APPLICATIONS
Erbium-doped Amplifiers in Telecom Systems
The power of a data transmitter may be boosted with a high-power EDFA before
entering a long fiber span, or a device with large losses, such as a fiber-optic
splitter. Such splitters are widely used e.g. in cable-TV systems, where a single
transmitter is used to deliver signals into many fibers.
A fiber amplifier may also be used in front of a data receiver, if the arriving signal
is weak. Despite the introduction of amplifier noise, this can improve the signal-
to-noise ratio and thus the possible data transmission rate, since the amplifier
noise may be weaker than the input noise of the receiver. It is more common,
however, to use avalanche photodiodes, which have some built-in signal
amplification.
9
In-line EDFAs are used between long spans of passive transmission fiber. Using
multiple amplifiers in a long fiber-optic link has the advantage that large
transmission losses can be compensated without (a) letting the optical power drop
to too low levels, which would spoil the signal-to-noise ratio, and (b) without
transmitting excessive optical powers at other locations, which would cause
detrimental nonlinear effects due to the unavoidable fiber nonlinearities. Many of
these in-line EDFAs are operated even under difficult conditions, e.g. on the
ocean floor, where maintenance would be hardly possible.
Although data transmitters are normally not based on erbium-doped devices,
EDFAs are often part of equipment for testing transmission hardware. They are
also used in the context of optical signal processing.

CHAPTER-3
IMPLEMENTATION AND SIMULATION
3.1 INTRODUCTION
The main performance characteristics of EDFAs such as high gain, low noise figure,
high output power and gain flatness can be achieved in dual or more stage amplifiers.
The dual stage design provides capabilities to suppress ASE noise by the mid-stage
optical isolator which reduces amplifier saturation and positively contributes to the
gain, power and noise characteristics. In such devices, the first stage can be viewed as
a low-noise preamplifier, and the second stage as a power amplifier. High gain
flatness of the amplifier is achieved by using a mid-stage Gain Equalization Filter
(GEF).
3.2 OBJECTIVE
As the light travels along the fiber, signal intensity reduces due to various factors
such as coupling with isolator and due to properties of fiber itself. Thus, to
overcome this problem we will provide amplifiers in the mid stage Gain flattened
fiber (GFF).
At the 2nd stage when EDFA will be used, high gain, low noise figure, high output
power and gain flatness can be achieved.
3.3 SIMULATION SETUP
The simulation setup is shown in the figure. In this two stage EDFA is used with mid
stage gain equalization filter. In first stage EDFA consist of active fiber, Pump Laser,
coupler and an isolator with a filter. Pumping is done with a laser diode radiating
powerful light at a wavelength other than an information signal’s wavelength. An
information signal is transmitted in the vicinity of 1500nm frequency and input power
is 80mw but pump laser radiate at 980nm frequency and power is 110mw. Both the
optical information and optical pumping beams are put in the same fiber by a coupler
i.e. pump coupler co-propagation. Its feature lower noise but also low output power.
Then isolator is used. Its function to prevent back reflected light from penetrating the
amplifier fiber; otherwise this light will also be amplified. A fiber amplifier i.e.
erbium doped fiber which is bi-directional having length of 40m and here residual
17
pump is used as optical null. A filter separates any remnant of light power from the
information signal.
Figure3.1:- Simulation setup for two stage EDFA with mid stage GEF
Similarly in second stage of EDFA, CW laser which operates at 1600nm frequency
and power 120mw, pumping is done at 1480nm frequency by using coupler co-
propagation pump, then an isolator and EDF then again counter co-propagation is
used so that we can get higher output but also higher noise. Then gain flattening filter
is used to flatten the gain. Both stages output is fed into analyzer i.e. dual port WDM
analyzer (used for display gain and noise figure). Optical spectrum analyzer is used
for graphical representation between output power and wavelength.
