| Abstract: | This study presented a directly modulated 1550 nm NTSC AM-VSB CATV longdistance transmission system using Fabry-Perot laser diode, optical isolator, fiber Bragg grating, quarter-split-band, and wavelength-division multiplexing techniques. Good carrier-to-noise ratio ( ≥48 dB), composite second-order ( ≥64 dB), and composite triple-beat ( ≥60 dB) performances were obtained after a 100 km standard single-mode fiber transmission. Our proposed system does not use an externally modulated 1550 nm transmitter and a sophisticated stimulated Brillouin scattering suppression technique. It reveals a prominent technique with simpler and more economical advantages than that of externally modulated 1550 nm transmission system. |
