Abstract
The advantages of erbium doped fiber amplifiers have been well reported [1]-[3]. This paper is the first report of an analog AM and FM video transmission experiment that uses 6 cascaded erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA). A very promising application of cascade EDFAs is to create all-optical video distribution systems, see Fig. 1.
