Digital Assignment - 2 - March 2022:: 10 Answer ALL Questions Q. No. Question Description Marks

The document is a digital assignment for an Optical Communication and Networks course. It contains 5 questions related to optical communication topics like EDFAs, analog SCM lightwave systems, laser diode and fiber optic link design. Students are asked to calculate output signal levels for different numbers of wavelength channels in an EDFA, output power levels after a degraded signal passes through amplifier stages, average received power for a given CNR, which receiver type should be used for a given fiber link design, and system rise times both with and without mode mixing in the fiber.

Question Description
No.
Consider an EDFA with a gain of 26 dB and a maximum output power of 0 dBm. (a) Compare the 2
output signal levels per channel for 1, 2, 4, and 8 wavelength channels, where the input power is 1 mW
1.
for each signal. (b) What are the output signal levels per channel in each case if the pump power is
doubled?

Consider a long-distance transmission system containing a cascaded chain of EDFAs. Assume each EDFA is 2
operated in the saturation region and that the slope of the gain-versus-input power curve in this region is -0.5;
2. that is, the gain changes by ±3 dB for a ∓6-dB variation in input power. Assume a nominal gain of 7.1 dB and
the input and output power as -4.1 dBm and 3.0 dBm respectively. If the signal drops by 6.0 dB in the link, find
the output power levels after the degraded signal passes through 1, 2, 3 and 4 succeeding amplifier stages.

Consider an analog SCM lightwave system operating at 1.55 μm. It uses a receiver of 90% quantum efficiency, 2
10 nA dark current, and thermal-noise RMS current of 0.1 mA over a 50-MHz bandwidth. The RIN of the
3. transmitter laser is −150 dB/Hz. Calculate the average received power necessary to obtain 50-dB CNR for an
AM–VSB system with a modulation index of 0.2.

An engineer has the following components available: (a) GaAlAs laser diode operating at 850 nm and capable 2
of coupling 1 mW (0 dBm) into a fiber. (b) Ten sections of cable each of which is 500 m long, has a 4-dB/km
attenuation, and has connectors on both ends. (c) Connector loss of 2 dB/connector. (d) A pin photodiode
4. receiver. (e) An avalanche photodiode receiver. Using these components, the engineer wishes to construct a 5-
km link operating at 20 Mb/s. If the sensitivities of the pin and APD receivers are –45 and –56 dBm
respectively, which receiver should be used if a 6-dB system operating margin is required?

A 90-Mb/s NRZ data transmission system that sends two DS3 (45-Mb/s) channels uses a GaAlAs laser diode 2
that has a 1-nm spectral width. The rise time of the laser transmitter output is 2 ns. The transmission distance is
7 km over a graded-index fiber that has an 800-MHz · km bandwidth-distance product. (a) If the receiver
5. bandwidth is 90 MHz and the mode-mixing factor q = 0.7, what is the system rise time? Does this rise time meet
the NRZ data requirement of being less than 70 percent of a pulse width? (b) What is the system rise time if
there is no mode mixing in the 7-km link; that is, q = 1.0?
