Abstract
In this paper, a competent flat gain hybrid optical amplifier is proposed with an optimum arrangement of erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) and Raman amplifier. Attempts are made to design a hybrid optical amplifier for100 channels, 10 Gbps super dense wavelength division multiplexed (SDWDM) systems at channel spacing of 0.1 nm. Work capacity of the system was compared on the basis of various parameters, viz., noise figure and gain that determined the performance of the system. The gain spectrum of the hybrid optical amplifier depends upon the parameters viz., laser input power, pump power and pump wavelength of the amplifier. It was found that for wavelength range 1,560.38–1,579.59 nm, a flat gain of 4.34 dB is achieved for input power of −10 dB with noise figure variation of 0.818 dB without using any gain flattering scheme. Being simple and cost effective, this hybrid optical amplifier could be recommended for gain flatness characteristics and acceptable noise figure for dense wavelength multiplexed systems.
