摘要:
The dynamic range of optical single side-band modulated systems is analyzed for both small-signal and large-signal regimes. Under small-signal conditions the achievable link bandwidth is mainly limited by the combined effect of fiber nonlinearities and fiber dispersion. Whereas, under large-signal regime, the sidebands of the optical field at harmonics of the modulation frequency become significant, and the link bandwidth is limited by the interaction between-the different optical field harmonics affected by different phase changes due to the fiber dispersion.
