Abstract

The double Rayleigh backscatter (DRB) effect in long distance CATV systems using fiber Raman amplifiers (FRAs) is investigated theoretically in the paper. As a comparison, performance of a system with erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is also evaluated. According to the simulation results, it is found that, in case of FRA, the increase of carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR) due to the DRB effect will not impair the performance more than that using EDFA.
