Abstract

An analog transmission system for transmitting a multi-channel analog signal including plural carrier signals having different frequencies, comprises: a laser unit responsive to the multi-channel analog signal for emitting laser light signal intensity-modulated by the multi-channel analog signal, the laser unit having an oscillation wavelength W1; an optical fiber amplifier for amplifying the laser light signal with a peak gain at a wavelength W2; an optical fiber for transmitting the amplified laser light; and an optical receiver for receiving the transmitted laser light and for converting the received laser light into an electric signal as an output. In this system, a total distortion characteristic of the laser unit is compensated by distortions developed in the optical fiber amplifier.
