Abstract
The advantages of erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs) have been well reported [1]-[4]. One existing application is in a cascade configuration for TV signal distribution [4]. This paper is an extension of our previous paper and reports the first distribution of multiplexed AM/FM TV signals. The new technique is ideal to support and extend traditional CATV services and area while ensuring support for future CATV services such as FM-NTSC-TV and HDTV signals as shown in Fig. 1.
