Abstract

Summary form only given. We have demonstrated an eight-wavelength channel hybrid WDM (HWDM) system that supports both QAM-SCM and 2.5-Gbit/s baseband digital signal formats for digital video trunking applications. Using four cascaded in-line EDFAs, error-free transmission over 255-km standard single-mode fiber was achieved. Such an HWDM system offers the potential of high-capacity mixed-signal format video transport to serve different network and service needs.
