Abstract: Nowadays, techniques for education are based on the combination of theoretical formulas,
experimental measurement and simulation approaches. Theoretical analysis, experimental and
simulation approaches based educations allow developing simple and non expensive tools for the aim
of studying complex problems in optical network communication. Theoretical formulas, used to
describe the non linear effects on digital lightwave links, may by simplified with the use of simulation
models so that real and industrial applications can be approached. In this study, we use theoretical
model taking into account system parameters, physical penalty and transmission speed, for the purpose
of developing simulation tools. Using these simulation techniques, it is possible to investigate various
compensation techniques and demonstrate their effects on system performances.
