Abstract

Optical single-side-band (OSSB) sources compensate for deleterious chromatic dispersion effects in fiber-radio systems. A wavelength-self-tunable filter based on an iron doped indium phosphide photorefractive crystal is used to provide OSSB signals. The device is incorporated into the WDM fiber-radio transmission of two optical signals modulated at a 16 GHz frequency and carrying 140 Mbit/s data streams.
