WDM in Optical Fiber

Aim: To perform wavelength division multiplexing and calculate cross talk of the channel

Components Used and properties:

CW lazer;Produces laser (acts as carrier)
PRBS Generator: A PRBS is a periodic, deterministic signal consisting of a series of digital
ones and zeros. The duration of the one or zero levels are a multiple of the PRBS
generator's clock period. The pattern of ones and zeros is random within the pattern
repetition period of the generator
Electric signal generator: A signal generator allows you to output signals with various
frequencies, amplitudes, and time durations
External modulator: Unlike direct modulation of the laser itself, external modulators do not
cause any degrading effects on laser linewidth and stability.
NL Laser :cable to transmit laser
Optical power normaliser:it normalises the power
Receiver:recieves the signal from transmitter
Electric monitor:monitor power ouput etc
BER Tester: monitor ber value
Eye Diagram analyzer: monitor graphs
Dmlaser:laser will be directly modulated before multiplexing
Spectral image analysis: spectral image of the waves are done

Tabulation:
10 log P o
Cross talk =
P1
Where, P1 is the output power at a specific wavelength designated at that port and P 0 is the output
power at the same port for the other wavelength.
