Abstract :
An approach is presented to reduce the chromatic dispersion-induced distortions in optical links carrying combined baseband and microwave signals. This new method is based on the interplay of intensity dependent phase modulation in semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOAs) and fiber nonlinearities. Theoretical and experimental results are demonstrated for a 400 km long optical link.
