S. Aisawa et al., WIDE-BANDWIDTH, HIGH-SENSITIVITY, OPTICALLY PRE-AMPLIFIED RECEIVER FOR 1580NM BAND 10GBIT S WDM SIGNALS/, Electronics Letters, 33(24), 1997, pp. 2071-2073
A wide-bandwidth, optically pre-amplified receiver at 10Gbit/s is demo
nstrated in the 1575-1600nm wavelength range using a gain-shifted EDFA
for the first time. It offers a sensitivity of better than -38.0dBm a
t a bit error rate of 10(-9).
