Execution Simulation Design of Fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) Device Ingress Networks Using GPON with FBG Based on OptiSystem

Abstract

Consumers require high-speed data transmission for different activities, such as smartphone usage, live broadcasting of news, and video conferencing. Therefore, a reliable communication network is needed to provide this kind of service to users. Fiber to the home (FTTH) is an optical fiber architecture that uses fiber cables in the access network for direct and final connection to homes or offices of customers. Networks based on FTTH can offer high performance, speed, and quality. An optical fiber communication system based on FTTH device ingress network using gigabit passive optical networks (GPONs) with fiber Bragg grating (FBG) and optical amplifier is designed and analyzed in this study. The developed design based on the FTTH device and FBG shows a low bit error rate (BER) for downstream and upstream configurations with an optical fiber length of 20 km. Downstream and upstream configurations achieve a Q-factor of 89.5 and 181.3, respectively. Achievable sensitivity of the developed system is −28 dBm, while the received signal based on OptiSystem is −25.59 dBm. FTTH with FBG will play a major role in the future and provide effective solutions for a wide variety of applications in network communication systems and data transmission rates.

INTRODUCTION PTOELECTRONICS and telecommunications have attracted considerable attention from researchers and manufacturers due to their considerable progress in commercial applications for optical fiber components and improved data transmission rate [1]. Optical fiber cable has low loss compared to electrical transmission lines. Optical fibers have many properties such as: immunity to electromagnetic interference, and resistance to corrosive and flammable environments as well as reactive, which are suitable for applications of optical fiber communication systems [2]. The optical fiber communication system, which was first developed in 1970, has been continuously implemented in many new applications and installations [3]. The demand for high transmission rates, long transmission distances, high speeds, and large transmission bandwidths has increased with the development of optical fiber communication technology [4].Optical fiber to the home (FTTH) is a fiber optic network configuration distributed to customers at home or a station site that provides triple-play and intensive services of broadband internet, television, and latency-sensitive telephone services [5].
