Abstract

In this paper, the theoretical 8-channel Dense Wave Division Multiplexing
(DWDM) telecommunication system is demonstrated. Laser Diode (LD) source
was used for each channel, with external modulator, therefore making the system
work at high bit rate. The analytical part was done using a software simulator. All
the proposed system components were simulated using Optisystem software offered
by Optiwave for testing a DWDM communication system. The 8-channel DWDM
spectrum, attenuation, dispersion, and receiver performance was determined.
