| Abstract: | Studies on long-haul coherent optical fiber communication systems with in-line optical amplifier repeaters are made theoretically and experimentally. By theoretical calculation it was found that coherent systems can achieve wider dynamic range for an amplifier input power as compared with the intensity-modulation direct-detection (IM-DD) systems. The feasibility of such systems using traveling-wave semiconductor laser amplifiers (TWSLAs) and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) was investigated, and 546 km, 140 Mb/s CPFSK transmission using TWSLAs and 1028-km, 560-Mb/s CPFSK transmission using EDFAs were successfully demonstrated |
