In this paper, we investigate effects of Erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) amplified
spontaneous emission (ASE) noise on the performanceof multi-wavelength OCDMA-based Long-Reach Passive Optical Networks. In addition, other noise and interference such as shot noise,
thermal noise, beat noise, and multiple-access interference (MAI) are included in our theoretical
analysis and simulation. We found that the locationof EDFA on the link between OLT and ONUs
plays an important role in network design since it affects network performance. Analytical results
show that, to achieve low bit error rate, the EDFA should be located around 10 to 20 km from
OLT when total link distance of 90...
