A comparative performance analysis of confinement factor in semiconductor optical amplifier

The paper interrogated the performance of SOA hybrid optical amplifier using EDFA improvement for basic CW Laser Source transposal system with channel having data rate of 10 Gbps at moderate channel spacing of 0.2 nm. The performance of the system has been compared for different signal input power on the basis of transmission distance in terms of Output Power, Q-factor, Eye Opening and Bit Error Rate. It is contemplated that the semiconductor optical amplifier with EDFA booster provides high value of Quality-factor, Low Bit Error Rate, Maximum value of Output power and Maximum Eye Opening for −20 dBm signal input power up to transmission distance of 100 km as compared to −10 dBm and 0 dBm signal input power.
