The new model has been compared with a previous work proposed by other authors having DCF as dispersion compensator. Both configurations have been modeled and simulated using the same initial setting in term to prove the efficiency of our model. For this purpose, different parameter of the Chirped FBG include chirp parameter, apodization function and grating length have been investigated in order to get the most suitable settings of the proposed model. The WDM transmission system is simulated using the advanced tools of Optisystem 7.0. The simulation results have been examined and validated by analyzing the eye diagram, the Q-factor and the BER analysis. Index Terms- Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG), Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM) I. INTRODUCTION In recent years, due to huge capacity demand for data transmission, the optical fiber communication technology has undergone an enormous growth, having big impact on the telecommunication industry by providing higher performance and more reliable tele-communication links with decreasing bandwidth cost. However, two main limitations confine the optical fiber transmission from utilizing the bandwidth efficiency, which are chromatic dispersion and signal loss. In order to face signal loss, the Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifier (EDFA) has been proposed by many authors [1, 2, 3]. Nevertheless, EDFA works correctly only in 1550 nm wave band, in which the average dispersion value of single mode fiber is very big (about 15-20ps/nm/km) [4]. Thus, EDFA has to be combined with a dispersion compensator to overcome chromatic dispersion effects. Chromatic dispersion occurs when different wavelengths of light pulses are launched into the optical fiber. These pulses travel at different speeds due to the variation of refractive index with the wavelength. So they tend to get spread out in time after traveling for some distance in the optical fiber. This phenomenon of broadening the pulse width causes distortion of the transmitted signals and leads to errors in data receivers [5]. To face this problem, Dispersion Compensation Fibers (DCF) has been widely used, with negative dispersion coefficient in order to disable the effect of positive dispersion in optical fibers [6]. Nonetheless, the DCF implementation increases the total losses, the nonlinear effects and the cost of the optical transmission systems [7]. Nowadays, Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) is considered as one of the most advanced technologies suggested to compensate chromatic dispersion in optical fibers overcoming the challenges of the DCF technique. FBG is characterized by low internal loses, negligible nonlinear effect, cost efficiency and the high capacity for working in WDM optical transmission systems [8]. In this paper, Chirped FBG has been studied as a dispersion compensator in 8-channels WDM long-haul optical network. The proposed model has been compared with a previous work using DCF as dispersion compensator [9]. The chirped FBG parameter values with chirp parameter (μm), apodization function and grating length (mm) have been examined and

2 analyzed graphically in terms of the Q-factor, the BER and the eye diagram. The main objective of this procedure is to find out the optimized values to be used in the proposed model. Both DCF and chirped FBG configurations have been modeled and simulated using the advanced tools of Optisystem 7.0 simulator. All results demonstrate high efficiency of the new model developed in this paper. II. DCF COMPENSATION MODEL In order to develop our model based on the chirped FBG technology, firstly we present a detailed analysis of the DCF compensation technique studied and simulated in [9, 10]. Then, we highlight the main advantages and disadvantages of this technique for the purpose of demonstrating how the proposed compensation approach with chirped FBG helps to get better results. Both configurations have been modeled and simulated using the same initial setting: Bit rate 2.5GBits/s, dispersion ps/nm/km, dispersion slope ps/nm 2 /km and attenuation coefficient at cable section 0.2dB/km. The model presented by [9] simulate WDM of 8-channels having channel spacing 0.5nm with DCF as dispersion compensator, see Fig. 1. This work has been based on one channel transmission system design developed in [10]. The idea behind this compensation technique is to make Single Mode Fibers (SMF) followed or preceded by DCFs with negative dispersion coefficient, in order to disable the effect of positive dispersion of SMFs. Therefore, the value of DCF dispersion coefficient β 2 must be logically calculated based on SMF dispersion coefficient β 1 to make null the total chromatic dispersion after a certain distance. In this configuration, the optical amplifier used is considered having gain and noise of 20 db and 4 db respectively. The SMF have the reference wavelength of 1550 nm located after the DCF. The loop control system has 2 loops with 100km each one. The total length of fiber channel in one loop is segmented in the ration of 1:5, i.e. 17 km DCF and 83 km SMF. The parameters for DCF are reference wavelength of 1550 nm, attenuation 0.6 db/km, dispersion value -80 ps/nm/km, dispersion slope 0.21 ps/nm 2 /km, β2= -20 ps 2 /km, differential group delay 3 ps/km and PMD coefficient 0.5 ps/km. Table 1 and Table 2 present the simulation results of Max Q-factor and Min BER at data receivers respectively. As can be shown in Table 1, using DCF compensation technique, the quality factor values are not quite uniform. Good values are obtained in some channels, whereas bad values are obtained in others. For instance, the first channel had very low Max Q-factor (6.46), which means logically high signal distortion. It can also be observed from Table 2, that the results in terms of Min BER are not uniform either. Thus, DCF can be considered as a good solution to compensate chromatic dispersion for reliable signal transmission, but only up to a certain level. III. CHIRPED FBG COMPENSATION MODEL In order to study the new technique implemented in this paper, firstly we present the FBG technology to outline the working principle of the chirped FBG proposed for the WDM model. Secondly, a detailed study will be devoted to the design and simulation of the proposed model with chirped FBG as dispersion compensator. A. FBG Working Principle FBG is a single mode fiber that exposes the core to the periodic pattern of intense ultraviolet light. The exposure increase the refractive index and the pattern will create a fixed index modulation that is called Grating [5] with wavelength selective mirror as can be shown in Fig. 2. Various methods were employed in

3 order to map grating in optical fiber with extensive types of pulsed and continuous lasers to be used in visible and ultraviolet region. Resulted gratings reflect the propagated light in fiber according to Bragg wavelength which is given as follow: λ B = 2nΛ (1) Where n and Λ are the core refractive index and the grating period in fiber respectively [8]. Chirped FBG is one of the many types of FBG with some created changes in period of grating. This principle is presented in Fig. 3. As the period of grating changes along the axis, different wavelengths are reflected by different parts of the grating, and therefore are delayed with different time intervals. Thus, the final effect is compression in incident pulse and can be appropriate to compensate chromatic dispersion in communication links. B. Chirped FBG Design and Simulation The proposed model using chirped FBG for 8-channels WDM optical transmission system is operated with basic optical communication system which consists of a transmitter, transmission link and a receiver. The input signal contains electrical data represented by zeros and ones that have been generated by Pseudo- Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) through a non-return to zero (NRZ). Then the input signal is modulated through Mach-Zender Modulator with semiconductor laser that is represented by Continuous Wave (CW) laser. In dense WDM system, the number of channels can be increased up to any extent by using minimum channel spacing between 100GHZ and 12.5 GHZ (0.1nm to 0.8nm at 1550nm). So WDM Mux 8x1 is used as a multiplexer for 8 channels having channel spacing 100GHz from to THz frequencies. The system transmits information using optical carrier wave from transmitter to receiver via optical fiber. At the receiver part, WDM Demux 1x8 is required to demultiplex the signal. Afterwards, the Chirped FBG will be used as dispersion compensator. The use of Chirped FBG requires optical amplification to overcome the fiber loss and also to amplify the signal, so the signal will pass through EDFA before being received by Photo detector PIN. Fig. 4 represents the simulation setup for the proposed WDM transmission system and the Chirped FBGs using the advanced simulation tools of Optisystem 7.0. We have not changed the parameters of any other block discussed earlier in DCF compensation technique. However only the communication distance is increased approximately three times as compared to the previous model and tested that whether the proposed compensation technique holds the performance characteristics better to DCF compensation or not. The initial setting of the chirped FBGs is shown in Table 3. Apodization function, chirp parameter (μm) and grating length (mm) have been investigated in order to get the most suitable settings of the chirped FBG to be used in the WDM transmission system. Grating period of each chirped FBG is calculated automatically based on the effective index n = 1.45 and Bragg wavelength of each channel. C. Results and Discussions Fig. 5 shows the effect of chromatic dispersion compensation on the eye diagrams of the received signals. By comparing the 2 eye diagrams, it can be obviously observed that the eye opening is higher and the signal quality is better when the Chirped FBG compensation is implemented. Fig. 6 shows the nonlinear interactions between the information signals and the fiber medium which get generated when light of different wavelengths are launched into a fiber in WDM transmission system. This type of nonlinear effects is called Four Wave Mixing and occurs in the case of WDM systems in which the wavelength channel spacing are very close to each other. The magnitude of this nonlinear effects depends on channel power, channel spacing and fiber dispersion.

4 By comparing transmitted spectrum Fig. 6 (a) and the received spectrum related to fiber output before demultiplexing Fig. 6 (b), it can be seen that additional pulses have been generated as a result of the nonlinear effects, which prevents correct reception of the transmitted signals. This additional pulses have been mostly eliminated with the use of Chirped FBG as shown in Fig. 6 (d). Further, the results are compared in terms of Max Q-factor in order to optimize the parameter values of the Chirped FBG used in WDM transmission system. The Q-factor is an electrical domain measure of the ratio of separation between digital states to the noise associated with the state. Higher Q indicates a lower rate of energy loss. Obtained results of different profiles of apodization and different grating length have been compared at different chirp parameters and different transmission distances as shown in Fig. 7 and Fig. 8 respectively. The 3 apodization functions are given as follow: Uniform: f(z) = 1 (2) Gaussian: f(z) = exp ( ln 2. (z L / s L 2 2 )2 ) (3) Tanh: f(z) = tanh 2 ( s ) + tanh (s. z ). tanh (s. (1 z )) + 1 (4) 2 L L Where z is the coordinate of light propagation along the length of FBG, L is the grating length, and s is taper parameter used for fine tuning of reflection spectrum. Fig. 7 demonstrates that uniform function and Tanh are the most appropriate apodization function as compared to Gaussian apodization at the best value for chirp parameter μm. It is also shown in Fig. 8 that 20 mm is the most proper grating length for all transmission distances higher than 200 km, and 15mm for transmission distances between 100km and 200km. The optimized values of the chirped FBG are used in the WDM model to be compared with the state-ofart alternative. Table 4 shows the comparison results, and hence it demonstrates that the proposed method with Chirped FBG offers improved values of performance parameters such as Max Q-FACTOR and Min BER compared to DCF compensation technique. It can be seen that in the proposed model we obtained Max Q-factor higher than 50 in the 8 channels, however in the DCF model only 3 channels out of 8 were above 50. Moreover, we obtained more uniform Max Q-factor values than the previous model where the first channel for instance had very low Max Q-factor (6.46) which means high signal distortion. It is also observed that Min BER values are all null, which means that the probability that any received bit is in error equal to zero in all channels, unlike DCF dispersion compensation technique. The proposed method is also verified for three times longer channel length of 600km as shown in Fig. 9. It can be observed that even for such long distance, the system developed in this paper offers reduced signal distortion and improved eye opening, which proves that Chirped FBG compensation offers reduced dispersion and improved synchronization in WDM long haul networks. IV. CONCLUSION In this paper, Dense WDM transmission system of eight channels is simulated and analyzed for chromatic dispersion compensation. For this purpose, Chirped FBG compensation has been compared with a previous model having DCF as dispersion compensator. The proposed optical transmission system has been modeled by using OptiSystem simulator in order to investigate different parameters of the system. During the analysis

5 of simulation results, we concluded that the most proper grating length for the WDM long haul optical network equal to 20 mm for all transmission distances higher than 200 km and 15mm for transmission distances between 100km and 200km. It is also observed that Uniform function and Tanh are the most appropriate apodization function as compared to Gaussian apodization at the best value for chirp parameter μm. Finally, the results have been compared in terms of Max Q-factor and Min BER with the previous model. The simulation results prove that the Chirped FBG method offers improved values of performance parameters compared to DCF compensation technique. The efficiency of the proposed method is also verified based on Eye diagram patterns for three times longer transmission distance (600km). It is also observed that even for such long distance, Chirped FBG compensation offers negligible dispersion and improved synchronization. Fig. 1.
