Abstract

Chromatic dispersion (CD) is a major concern in high speed fiber optics communication systems. This work presents an efficient optical compensation technique with reduced complexity to mitigate CD effects in single mode fiber (SMF) at high data rates. The proposed method includes a post-dispersion mitigation system using a single linear chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) with tanh apodization. Here, various parameters of CFBG, such as grating length, effective refractive index, and apodization function, are optimized to achieve effective CD compensation. Then, the system is extended to a 16-channel WDM link with each channel carrying data at 25 Gbps over 100 km. The simulation results show that the proposed model enhances the system performance while minimizing overall system complexity. The proposed system is also compatible with the prevailing fiber optics networks. The results are consistent with the findings published in recent studies.
