Abstract
We demonstrate a high-gain bidirectional amplifier employing the newly prop osed bidirectional dispersion compensation technique. We transmit wavelengt h interleaved 10 Gb/s x 16-channel bidirectional signal over 200 km of sing le-mode fiber (SMF) with negligible relative intensity noise (RIN)-induced receiver sensitivity penalty, Furthermore, we show a simple fault detection method in bidirectional transmission link by measuring the aggregate signa l power at the monitoring port of the amplifier.
