A. Fellegara et S. Bottacchi, ANALYSIS OF POWER BUDGET PERFORMANCES OF DIGITAL TRANSMISSION-SYSTEMSWITH AN OPTICAL AMPLIFIER, Electronics Letters, 30(9), 1994, pp. 717-718
Explicit expressions for the power budget of a direct detection transm
ission system when an optical amplifier changes its location along the
span are presented. The analysis is in good agreement with experiment
al data obtained at 565Mbit/s and 2.5Gbit/s.
