| Abstract: | A multichannel fiber-grating-based optical limiting amplifier module is proposed. Dual-wavelength, hybrid data rate transmission is demonstrated with 30 dB input dynamic range. For 5.0 and 2.5 Gbit s dual-channel transmission in a 200 km single-mode fiber, power penalty due to gain competition between channels and backreflection noise is less than 0.6 dB compared to the receiver sensitivity of 0 km, 5.0 Gbit per second single-channel operation. |
