Abstract
The use of stimulated Brillouin scattering as a tunable narrowband amplifier to demodulate, amplify, and select channels in a densely packed WDM (wave-division multiplexed) network is discussed. A 128-channel system configuration is tested with channel separation as small as 1.5 GHz and error rates below 10/sup -10/. Direct FSK (frequency-shift-keyed) modulation of AlGaAs lasers and direct detection receivers are used. The experimental margin and noise analysis indicate that a 1000-channel system can be constructed with only these same components.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
