Performance analysis of soliton and Gaussian Pulse in long haul communication

Abstract

In recent days, optical communication has been playing a vital role in the communication sector because of its high speed transmission and larger efficiency. Especially in case of long haul communication, optical transmission of data is much more efficient than other means of communication systems. But, in long haul communication usage of amplifiers is making the whole system quite expensive. So, minimization of numbers of amplifiers with optimal transmission efficiencyis one of the major research topics of current days. In this research paper, two types of optical pulses have been used to analyze performance in long haul communication in a virtual environment (Software). Here, it has been shown that, using Soliton pulse allows using less number of Optical Amplifiers rather than Gaussian Pulse for maintaining optimum optical transmission efficiency. Using both of the optical pulses, Quality Factor and Bit Error Rate (BER) has been compared and analyzed.
