Abstract
The authors report the first use of a praseodymium-doped fluoride fibre amplifier (PDFFA) in a 24 TV channel FM-SCM transmission experiment. Twenty-four analogue FM-SCM-TV channels were amplified by a PDFFA without any observable degradation in picture quality. By using a single PDFFA as a post-amplifier, transmission over 104 km of `standard´ 1.3 μm optimised fibre was demonstrated with a total loss budget of 45 dB. By using the same PDFFA as an inline amplifier, a loss budget of 53 dB was achieved
