Abstract
The performance of analogue CATV systems using narrow linewidth source s and low-chirp modulation is limited by low power-thresholds for stim ulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) and excess noise from multipath inte rference (MPI). Using a low-chirp linearised integrated DFB laser/elec troabsorption modulator as a transmitter, the authors have increased t he SBS threshold by 5dB to +13.6dBm fibre launch power and suppressed MPI by dithering the laser bias current at 1.7GHz.
