Abstract
The outline and techniques of elevated momentum, inflated amplitude optical communication setup is grievously restrained by nonlinear scattering phenomena, consisting of stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS), stimulated Raman scattering (SRS), and Rayleigh scattering (RS). This implication stipulated the signal to weaken, the spectrum to widen, and the noise to eventually become louder, which truncated the potency of transmission and the dependability of the network as an unabridged. Wielding complex simulation models molded in OptiSystem, this scrutiny glance at the causes, repercussions, and mechanism to alleviate these nonlinear scattering effects in depth. To lower localized intensity hotspots, which productively terminate nonlinear gain processes, multi-wavelength pumping perspective and dispersion control blueprints are presented. To diminish Rayleigh scattering, we inspect revamping backscattering analysis, optical amplification techniques, and distributed feedback (DFB) lasers. The simulation outcome manifests that the advocated approaches perform because they augment the SBS threshold power, lower the SRS gain, meliorate the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR), and magnify the spectral efficiency. This research not only enhances our theoretical accomplishment of nonlinear scattering in optical fibers, but it also anticipates us practical design objectives for upcoming high-performance optical networks.
