Cc. Lee et S. Chi, Repeaterless transmission of 80-channel AM-SCM signals over 100-km large-effective-area dispersion-shifted fiber, IEEE PHOTON, 12(3), 2000, pp. 341-343
We have investigated the SBS threshold and transport of AM-SCM signal over
large-effective-area dispersion-shifted fiber (LEAF), truewave/reduced slop
e fiber, and standard single-mode tiber with external modulation. The trans
mission performance of CNR greater than or equal to 49.4 dB, CSO less than
or equal to -60.5 dB, and CTB less than or equal to -60.3 dB has been achie
ved for externally modulated 80-channel AM-SCM signals over 100-km LEAF wit
hout in-line optical amplifiers.
