Abstract :
The feasibility of Gbit/s laser amplifier transmission systems without optical isolators has been investigated. 2 Gbit/s transmission over 210 km was achieved with two in-line near-travelling wave amplifiers. Whilst no isolators were employed, optical noise filtering was required at the receiver input
