Abstract :
An experimental investigation of additive RF phase noise of an 8.8 km fiber optic link with an EDFA shows that increasing the EDFA gain results in increased levels of additive phase noise. It is shown that every dB increase in the EDFA gain results in a 2 dBc/Hz increase in the additive phase noise
