Pump Sharing Hybrid Optical Amplifier in the Scenario of C+L Band Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexed System

In this work, we investigated C+L Band Hybrid optical amplifier (HOA) by pump sharing to provide cost efficient systems. Two different configuration of HOAs have been proposed to achieve better performance using pump sharing concept. One technique uses FBG in the system and other isolators in order to provide maximum gain and gain flatness. Further evaluation of 32 x 10 Gbps WDM system has been done in terms of maximum Gain and noise figure (NF) by utilizing different HOA. Evaluation of different techniques is carried out by analyzing Q-factor and bit error rate (BER) along with gain flatness and noise figure (NF).
