| The optical signal is severely degraded when transmitted in the fiber due to both the linear and nonlinear distortions. It is well known that, the linear distortions in single mode fiber include chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarization-mode dispersion (PMD) while self-phase modulation (SPM), cross phase modulation (XPM) and four-wave mixing (FWM) are considered the most among nonlinear distortions. A method called Fractional Fourier Transform (FRFT) has been applied to mitigate fiber nonlinearity impairments. In this work, 10 Gb/s optical fiber system with five spans, each of length 60 km, for three types of modulation formats (Return-to-Zero Differential Phase Shift Keying (RZ-DPSK), Return-to-Zero Differential Quaternary Phase Shift Keying (RZ-DQPSK) and Carrier-Suppressed Return-to-Zero (CSRZ)), single and multi-channel transmission systems are designed and simulated using “OptiSystem (2011) version 10.0” software package. The BER of thirty two channel systems (channel No.16) at bit rate 10 Gb/s per channel, 300 km link length of CSRZ modulation format with channel spacing of 50 GHz at SNR 10 dB without FRFT is 10-4.6 and 10-6.4 with FRFT. The BER of thirty two channel system (channel No.16) at bit rate 10 Gb/s per channel, 300 km link length of CSRZ modulation format with channel spacing of 25 GHz at SNR 10 dB without FRFT is 10- 2.56 and 10-3.24 with FRFT. | ||
