Link length augmentation of optically coded multi-user network by using Electronic Equalization Technique

Abstract

Dispersion in an optical fiber is one of the major limitations which affect its data carrying capacity and causes overall performance degradation. In this paper, Electronic Equalization Technique (EET) has been employed in a multiuser Optical Code Division Multiple Access (OCDMA) network to compensate the chromatic dispersion. It has been observed that in the proposed network the Bit Error Rate (BER) is significantly reduced by e-16 and Q2db factor reported is 19dB with EET.
