Abstract
A split-band directly modulated fiber optical CATV system employing -1 side-mode injection-locked and semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based optical single sideband (SSB) modulation techniques is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. For our proposed systems, it is relatively simple to implement as only one SOA is required. Excellent performances of carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), composite second order (CSO), and composite triple beat (CTB) were achieved over a-100 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission.
