Abstract
Industry 4.0 enables the production of smart machines which helps in the analysis and diagnosis issues without the use of any human intervention. It is the intelligent networking of industrial process and machines with the help of communication and information technology. Optical networks also play a very important role in fulfilling the requirements of latency, bandwidth, and radio access network (RAN) reliability. The vertical industries like logistics systems (warehouses, maritime ports, airports, etc.) and manufacturing plants will require telecom architectures of specific form which rely on the different forms of optical network. This chapter analyzes the performance of eight-channel WDM optical network with different optical amplifiers (EDFA, SOA dynamic mode, and Raman amplifier). This chapter discusses the transmission model of WDM network and its applications and optical amplifier and its types. This chapter presents three configurations of WDM optical networks. The first configuration is with EDFA amplifier, the second configuration is with SOA amplifier, and the third configuration is with Raman amplifier. These networks are simulated using Optisystem 18. Three configurations are compared using Max Q factor, Min BER, Eye Height, and OSNR parameters. Results show that WDM optical network with EDFA and SOA amplifiers performed better than Raman amplifier.
