Abstract :
In conclusion, we have demonstrated a simple means of suppressing SBS and multipath interference (MPI) when an electroabsorption modulated lasers (EML) is used as an optical transmitter for analog transmission at 1.55 μm. This technique is essential to allow the high powers obtained with EDFAs to propagate with high CNR and low distortion.
