Comparative Simulation Study of Multi Stage Hybrid All Optical Fiber Amplifiers in Optical Communications

Abstract This study clarifies the comparison between hybrid all optical fiber amplifiers in single-stage and multi-stage amplification. EDFA/Raman, Raman/EDFA/Raman, and EDFA/Raman/EDFA configurations are employed for upgrading optical communication systems. Single-stage Raman amplifiers clarifies very better performance than single-stage EDFA amplifier. Multi-stage Raman/EDFA/Raman also outlines very better performance than other hybrid configuration up to 475 km distance. Single-stage Raman amplification has outlined maxi. Q factor up to 218.392 for 250 km distance and 11.937 up to 475 km propagation range. So hybrid all optical amplifiers are essentially for upgrading optical system performance efficiency.
