Abstract:
In this article, an intensity modulation-direct detection (IM-DD) optical fiber transmission system is simulated and investigated using a signal processing worksystem (SPW) on a Hewlett-Packard (HP) workstation. The optical fiber transmission system simulated includes a laser diode source, a single-mode fiber and a positive-intrinsic-negative (p-i-n) photodiode receiver model. Simulation methods are pre sented on the optical source waveforms, fiber attenuation and dispersion, and receiver noise. The end-to-end performance of a typical trans mission system is also presented. In the simula tion, models can be made as detailed as neces sary and computer waveforms can be compared directly to measured waveforms. Measured data can be used to accurately characterize functional components, such as sources, fibers and detectors. The impact of noise on the per formance of the transmission system can be observed. SPW software and its usage on HP workstations are introduced.
