Performance improvement by positioning DCF non-symmetrically in a periodic amplified re-circulating loop for long-haul optical soliton transmission link

Abstract

In this paper, we have carried out simulative performance analysis by positioning the DCF non-symmetrically in a periodic amplified re-circulating loop for optical soliton transmission link over a long haul. The investigations indicate that relatively stable pulses can propagate in a mid-compensated optical soliton transmission over a long-haul dispersion-managed soliton regime in a fiber link with loss and periodic amplification by keeping the average dispersion small but non-zero. Here non-zero anomalous fiber dispersion equal to 6 ps/nm is maintained by inserting DCF in the beginning, middle and end of the fiber loop. Here it is demonstrated that solitons can propagate even when β 2 varies along the fiber length up to transmission distance of 18,000 km.
