Title A name given to the resource Theoretical Investigation of Optical WDM Network Performance in the Presence of FWM and ASE Noise Subject The topic of the resource amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise; dispersion; four-wave mixing (FWM); optical star network; wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) Description An account of the resource In this article, for an optical star wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) network, with quality factor (Q-factor) as performance metric, we investigate the performance degradation due to the combined effects of four-wave mixing (FWM) and amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise. A mathematical model is developed, and the simulations are performed based on the optical frequency grid defined by the ITU-T Recommendation G.692. Further, the analysis is conducted for the optical fibers that are ITU-T compliant viz. G.652, G. 652D, G. 653, G. 654 and G.655. The simulation results show that, compared to the other fiber types, performance of the G. 652D and G.652 fibers is the "best", thus justifying the preferred use of fibers with high dispersion and effective area values. The simulation results also highlight that with the use of a fiber having low dispersion and effective area value, it may not be possible to obtain the desired performance. 2017 by De Gruyter 2017.
