Abstract

We investigated the performance of the latest burst-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifier (BM-EDFA) for uplink transmission of radio-over-fiber signals by using the long-term evolution advanced format. The new BM-EDFA was designed to have high linearity in the high output power range. Compared with conventional EDFAs, we observed lower error vector magnitudes over a wide range of optical input power.
