Excess noise in fibre-optic systems using LED transmitters is analysed. The relative excess
noise (REN) of a commercially available single-mode LED source was measured to be …

The extensive literature on the nonlinear behavior of semiconductor devices is reviewed.
Over and above what is offered in the literature, the general theory of nonlinear distortion is …

Two important aspects of optical amplifier noise figure as measured with a heterodyne
detection receiver are investigated. First, differential mode gain will result in polarization …

We measured intermodulation distortion (IMD) generated by the presence of two optical
tones separated by up to 1 GHz in a 1.3? m near-travelling-wave optical amplifier. The …
