The work has simulated different order Gaussian pulses effects on the high data rate fiber communication channel and optical receiver sensitivity with/without self-phase modulation (SPM). The light signal per noise ratio, and total dispersion coefficient after optical fiber communication channel are measured at different order Gaussian pulses. Receiver sensitivity and maximum Q -factor are also measured for an optical receiver at high transmission data rates at different order Gaussian pulses. As well as Soliton peak power is measured for different transmission data rates with/without SPM effects. It is observed that the system performance is degraded over 100 Gb/s data transmission and 50 km fiber distance especially in the presence of SPM effects. It is evident that the system performance efficiency is degraded with high order Gaussian pulses. It is recommended to use first-order Gaussian pulse for upgrade optical communication system performance efficiency.
