Abstract

Modern telecommunication systems rely on optical fiber connections with strong signals to send data quickly and efficiently. This work examines the influence of optical amplifier configurations on signal integrity in WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) communication systems. Performance evaluation examines variations in the Q-factor and the BER (bit error rate) of APDs (avalanche photodiodes) and PIN (positive-intrinsic-negative) photodiodes inside optical amplification frameworks. The simulation study showed how the signal changed as the operating circumstances changed. APD diodes have a better Q-factor and BER than PIN diodes because they are more sensitive and have better internal gain performance. Optical amplification makes the system work better because it makes signals stronger, which lowers BER and eventually makes the system work well. According to studies, WDM networks using APD diodes and amplification have better optical signal quality. Researchers use empirical data to enhance benchmarks for high-speed fiber-optic communication network optical receivers.
