Abstract
This paper investigates the transmission characteristics of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers for use in optical AM FDM video distribution systems. The output signal power and noise characteristics of erbium-doped fibers were measured for different fiber lengths and different pump powers. The experimental results confirm that there exists an optimum amplifier design which gives the maximum distribution number when the pump power and the required video quality are given.
