Performance Comparison of Different Fiber Standards on 80 Gbps OTDM System

In Optical Time Division Multiplexed transmission system performance is limited by dispersion and kerr effect. In this paper performance of Different Fiber Standards i.e. Standard, Alcatel, ITU 653, ITU 654, ITU 655, is compared on the basis of distance. Pre-dispersion compensation technique is used to reduce the effect of dispersion over long distance transmission of signal. Alcatel Fiber [Dispersion=8 ps/nm/km] observed to be the best suitable Optical Fiber Standard for High Data Rate Transmission for reaching a distance of 700 km with Q factor 6.88. ITU 655 [Dispersion=3.78 ps/nm/km] covered least distance i.e. 300 km, because of small DCF Fiber Length. Results are obtained at C band [wavelength=1550nm].
