Abstract

Filters in photonic configurations are vital for the selective transmission of the pulse. This paper presents the investigation on the deployment of perfect filters to get enhanced reception. We have proposed MZM–MZI (Mach–Zehnder-Modulator–Mach–Zehnder-Interferometer)-based switching network where Bessel filtering proves beneficial for the better quality of reception. The comparison of four different filters shows the Bessel filter can achieve reliable results with the minimum log of Bit Error Rate (BER) of −24.0658 and Extinction Ratio (ER) of 18.11853. The filtering response and switching performance have also been tested on parameters like received spectrum, Quality Factor, and Eye-Opening Factor with various filtering components like rectangular, trapezoidal, and Butterworth.
