We measure characteristics of a transmitted WDM signal in an 80 km-long SMF under bi-directionally pumped DRA with incoherent-forward and coherent-backward pumps. The signal shows OSNR of 50.0 dB and RIN less than -140 dB/Hz.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
