Abstract
We have described cases where the penalties incurred in IMDD links by utilizing EDFAs can be quite small or negligible. These conclusions are particularly important for short-length high-optical-power links, such as can be used in an avionic platform. These results relax the output-power requirements on low-noise lasers. In addition, this work demonstrates the significance of a new class of EDFAs, namely, EDFAs in compact flight-qualified packages having low noise figure in deep saturation
