Abstract

In the system considered, the postamplifier, with an output power of +9.6 dBm, did not degrade the very high linearity of the isolated distributed-feedback (DFB) laser transmitter. A 51.2-dB weighted signal-to-noise ratio was obtained, and an optical power budget of 16 dB was achieved with a weighted signal-to-noise ratio higher than 48 dB. A larger power budget with a higher signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) is possible with an increase of DFB laser output power and erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) saturated output power, and with a minimization of the EDFA noise contribution.<>
