Abstract :
Measured bit-error-rate performance is reported for a wavelength-division-multiplexed subcarrier-multiplexed transmission experiment. Six digital channels were carried over two wavelengths in the 1.5 mu m wavelength region and amplified using a semiconductor laser amplifier which gave a 12 dB increase in tolerable path loss with no noticeable penalty.
