Projeto de enlace óptico para longas distâncias usando EDFAs.

Abstract

This report describes the main activities done during an internship in the optical technologies branch (GTO) of the CPqD foundation, starting on April 2015 and ending October 2015. These activities are part of the foundation’s research and development. The focus of this work is the design of a series of Erbium Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) distributed along a 2.000 km optical link, with the restriction that its corresponding Gain Flattening Filters (GFFs) are limited to only 4 possible predetermined profiles. This restriction considerably reduces costs, but increases design complexity. The design was done through co-simulation using OptiSystem and Matlab.
