Erbium-doped fibre amplifier in a 16-channel coherent broadcast network
Erbium-doped fibre amplifier in a 16-channel coherent broadcast network
In this paper, we describe the use of an erbium-doped fibre amplifier in a 16-channel coherent broadcast network experiment operating in the wavelength range of 1538.8 to 1540nm. The fibre-to-fibre gain was 22dB and the amplifier dynamic range was 15dB for the entire transmission spectrum. The amplifier was used to amplify sixteen 155Mb/s signals on one output of a 16-by-16 star coupler, allowing a total span loss of 47dB between transmitted and received signals. Satisfactory transmission system performance is obtained for error ratios of 10-9.

Abstract
In this paper, we describe the use of an erbium-doped fibre amplifier in a 16-channel coherent broadcast network experiment operating in the wavelength range of 1538.8 to 1540nm. The fibre-to-fibre gain was 22dB and the amplifier dynamic range was 15dB for the entire transmission spectrum. The amplifier was used to amplify sixteen 155Mb/s signals on one output of a 16-by-16 star coupler, allowing a total span loss of 47dB between transmitted and received signals. Satisfactory transmission system performance is obtained for error ratios of 10-9.
