Abstract

The implementation of hybrid optical amplifiers has led to the emergence of DWDM in optical communication systems. By implementation of hybrid optical amplifiers, the performance of DWDM transmission can be enhanced. In this paper, different configurations of hybrid optical amplifiers are discussed which can be implemented at low cost and efficient performance of DWDM transmission system. Optical amplifiers can be used in different hybrid configurations to enhance the performance of the optical link and minimize the limitations of existing amplifiers.
