Performance Monitoring of Optical Network using Bit Error Rate

Abstract

With the increase in demand of broadband services, channel complexity has been increased. Therefore it has become necessary to monitor the performance of optical networks. Quality of service monitoring is very important tool in maintaining a strong, reliable and high capacity optical network. When one talks about QoS, BER is the parameter which needs to be monitored. In the proposed work, BER for 1m and 3m fiber cable is calculated through experimental setup and simulations. Simulations has been done in OPTSIM and later on behavior of network is compared with the experimental data.
