Abstract :
Summary form only given. The present work studies the performance of a star-geometry self amplified network (SANE) with remote pumping. Moving the amplifier upstream and pumping it remotely increases the signal level at the amplifier input, improved the sensitivity while eliminating the need for a narrow bandpass optical filter to suppress amplified spontaneous emission (ASE).
