Abstract :
In comparison with conventional SOA intensity modulators in IMDD PON systems, two cascaded SOAs can considerably improve the transmission performance of Adaptively Modulated Optical OFDM signals for low input powers, broaden the optimum operating condition ranges, and allow achieving signal bit rates of >30Gb/s over >60km SMFs.
