COMPUTER MODELING OF NONLINEAR EFFECTS IN OPTICAL FIBERS

Abstract

In connection with the introduction of WDM systems and the increase in the required power of the transmitted signal, which reaches over 30 dBm, the influence of nonlinear optical fibers becomes significant: their appearance on the high power of making a significant distortion in the transmitted signal, thereby reducing the reliability and limiting the regeneration section
length. To conduct experimental studies of nonlinear difficult, due to the simultaneous display of multiple effects and the need to use complex and expensive devices. Computer modeling simplifies the research process, empowering the study of optical communication systems.
