Dispersion Compensation-Free IM/DD SSB-OFDM Transmission at 11.11 Gb/s Over 200 km SSMF Using Dual EML
01 December 2013
We report on a novel optical single sideband-orthogonal frequency division multiplexing system for access and metro networks based on a single, low cost dual electro-absorption modulated laser. The experimental results successfully demonstrate transmissions at 11.11 Gb/s over 200 km uncompensated standard single mode fiber through intensity modulation and direct detection.
