| Abstract: | The performance of an erbium-doped fibre amplifier in a 16-channel coherent broadcast network operating at 155 Mbit/s has been experimentally investigated. A fibre-to-fibre gain of 22 dB at 1540 nm allowed simulation of a network that serves 256 end-users over a distance of 102 km.<> |
