Abstract

The study shows the basic interaction between different optical sources and optical detectors for high-speed optical communication networks. Optical sources that are namely continuous wave (CW) laser, laser rate equations as well as the vertical cavity surface emitting laser (VCSEL). The utilized optical modulators are indicated as Mach Zehnder modulator (MZM) as well as the Electro-absorption modulator (EAM). The data rate available 40 Gb/s for propagation length ranges from 10 km to 50 km. It is observed that the interaction between CW laser/MZM or CW laser/EAM has presented better performance than other combinations. In order to measure the system performances, many interesting parameters have been investigated. These can be including the electrical received power, highest signal quality factor, Optical signal per noise ratio as well as the lowest data error rates.

Keywords: MZM; EAM; CW laser; VCSEL and high-speed networks
