Abstract

We demonstrate 10 Gb/s, 5-channel, wavelength multiplexed transmission over four 80-km standard fiber spans using polarization invariant spectral inversion provided by a broadband fiber parametric amplifier using orthogonally-polarized pumps having synchronized phase modulation for stimulated Brillouin suppression.
