  • Abstract
    Cascaded amplifiers would enhance the network functionality in the transmission of multi-wavelength signals for longer reach. In this paper, the proposed system is amplified with cascaded SOAs which individually operate in the S band and C band to support the transmission of eight CWDM channels ranging from 1471 nm to 1611 nm. The proposed amplified system produced maximum gain peak of 26 dB for the gain bandwidth of 80 nm.
