Employing Fabry-Perot Etalon and Split-Band Technique to Improve Directly Modulated Fiber Optical CATV System Performances

A directly modulated AM-VSB CATV EDFA-repeated system that uses Fabry-Perot (FP) etalon and split-band technique is proposed and demonstrated. Good performances of CNR, CSO and CTB were achieved for the full channel band over a-100 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transport.
