Résumé:
The simulation can play an important role in all phases of the development of communication systems, from the earliest step of design, to the final steps of realization, testing and implementation of the system. Our thesis has been achieved through the application of different modeling techniques possible with VHDL-AMS for the creation and improvement of the practices and reusable models of the optoelectronic components, such as the VERTICAL CAVITY SURFACE EMITTING LASER (VCSEL), optical fibers and photodiode PIN. We have developed a library of the optoelectronic models well documented and configurable for they are be use in simulation of three blocks of optical transmission line. In the simulation of each block, we introduced the main disturbances of the optical chain, namely the temperature, the intrinsic noise of the VCSEL, the effect of attenuation in the optical fiber and the influence of chromatic and modal dispersion. We do not pretend to replace the specialized software in the field of optics and photonics, but our model is designed for designers and developers of optical transmission systems.
