Abstract

The efficient and accurate evaluation of the transmission performance of high-capacity optical communication systems has always attracted significant research attentions. The enhanced Gaussian noise (EGN) model is considered as an excellent solution to predict the system performance taking into account linear and nonlinear transmission impairments. Since the conventional form of the EGN model is complicated and intractable for a fast computation, the closed-form simplification has been regarded as a direction to significantly reduce the computational complexity. However, the accuracy of such a closed-form EGN model becomes a main concern in the application of ultra-wideband optical communication systems. In this work, we have investigated the accuracy of the closed-form EGN model for ultra-wideband optical fiber communication systems, where the performance of the system using electronic dispersion compensation, multi-channel nonlinearity compensation and full-field nonlinearity compensation has been evaluated in terms of symbol rate, number of channels and signal power. Our work will provide an insight on the application of the EGN model in next-generation ultra-wideband long-haul optical fiber communication networks.
