Abstract:Abstract-We report on a novel fiber based coherent detection system employing a double-pass fiber preamplifier, a spectral bandpass filter, and a time-domain filter. The time-domain filter, a synchronous time gate, reduces the in-band amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) beat noise, which cannot be achieved by the spectral bandpass filter alone. The double-pass fiber amplifier further reduces the out-band ASE by about 20 dB with a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) at the end of the fiber amplifier. In preliminary expe… Show more
