Abstract
Crosstalk penalties from a single reflection and Rayleigh backscatteri ng (RB) are calculated and measured for a bidirectional coherent CPFSK transmission system, having both transmitters operating at the same o ptical frequency. A 0.5 dB penalty occurs for -22 dB crosstalk/signal ratio for both types of crosstalk. The measured crosstalk penalties fo r RB fit very well with the predicted Gaussian behavior. The crosstalk penalties for a single reflection are always lower than those for an equal amount of RB.
