Abstract

The performance of an optical wideband wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) communication system is analyzed considering the effects of stimulated Raman scattering, fiber attenuation and chromatic dispersion. Improved models for the Raman gain and the fiber attenuation constant are proposed, which yield better and reliable performance results of the WDM system. Effect of fiber chromatic dispersion is also investigated and it is observed that dispersion can suitably be selected to overcome the limitations imposed by the stimulated Raman scattering phenomenon.
