Simultaneous distribution of multichannel analog and digital video channels to multiple terminals using high-density WDM and a broad-band in-line erbium-doped fiber amplifier

摘要

The simultaneous amplification of 16 distributed feedback (DFB) lasers over a 34-nm spectral range in an erbium-doped fiber amplifier is reported. Sixteen DFB lasers spaced at approximately 2-nm intervals and covering 34 nm in the 1.55- mu m band were modulated with a total of 100 studio-quality analog FM-TV channels and six 622-Mb/s channels.
