Abstract
A signal may be split by a splitter into a plurality of output signals. Each of these output signals may then be amplified. Amplified spontaneous emission noise may be removed using a tunable filter for each of the signal outputs. As a result, an output signal may be provided with greater power so that, in some embodiments, a single split signal may be utilized to service more end users.
