Multiwavelength analog video transport network

Abstract

We report on tests performed to confirm the performance of an 8-channel dense wavelength division multiplexed 1550-nm analog video transmission using directly modulated lasers over 40 km of standard fiber, through two cascaded Erbium-Doped Fiber Amplifiers (EDFAs) with sufficient carrier-to-noise and distortion performance. Multiwavelength analog video transport networks provide an end-to-end transparent information pipe with increased service penetration.
