J. Temmyo et al., LOW-NOISE CHARACTERISTICS OF AN AM-VSB VIDEO SIGNAL TRANSMISSION USING A PDFA PUMPED BY INGAAS SEMICONDUCTOR-LASERS THROUGH FIBER BRAGG GRATINGS, Electronics Letters, 32(20), 1996, pp. 1910-1911
The authors have demonstrated 15 dBm output Pr3+ doped fluoride fibre
amplifiers (PDFAs) pumped by two high-power. and wavelength stabilised
. InGaAs semiconductor lasers and also the low noise characteristics o
f AM-VSB video sinal transmission using a PDFA. The wavelength of the
InGaAs pumping semiconductor lasers was locked through fibre Bragg gra
tings, resulting in a reduction of the white-line noise in a CATV expe
riment, which is caused by the mode-hopping of the pumping sources.
