Abstract

In this paper, we compare the nonlinearity effects of single mode fiber (SMF) and non-zero dispersion shifted fiber (NZ-DSF) on the performance of optical coherent transmission systems. We estimate the nonlinearity effects of fiber, referred to as nonlinear interference noise (NLIN), by using the so-called enhanced Gaussian noise (EGN) model, and compute signal to noise ration (SNR) of optical coherent transmission system by considering NLIN and optical amplifier noise, referred to as amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise. By considering EGN model we optimize the lunch power of optical coherent systems considering SMF and NZ-DSF. Finally, a 100Gbps optical coherent transmission system is simulated and its results are compared with analytical results obtained based on the EGN model. The closeness between analytical and simulation results reveal the accuracy of the EGN model and the power optimization formulations.
