Abstract :
We demonstrate a novel and simple technique for the generation of optical SSB with carrier using a single Mach-Zehnder modulator to overcome dispersion effects in fibre-wireless systems. A dispersion penalty <0.5 dB for BER of 10/sup -9/ was measured for 51.8 Mb/s BPSK data transmission at 12 GHz over 80 km of fibre.
