Abstract
Provided herein are embodiments of a device, method of use and system for a low-cost analog multi-wavelength video distribution transamplifier for CATV and FTTH networks having a broadband overlay. The transamplifier embodiments described herein allow the use of multiple wavelengths to segment logical service groups in a CATV distribution system and a FTTH system having a broadband overlay. Improved optical signal power performance can be achieved by using direct modulating transmitters and modulating the optical signal for with an external waveguide, thereby decreasing SBS and reducing non-linearities.
