Abstract

A fiber chromatic dispersion compensation technique with optical single-sideband (SSB) transmission in optical homodyne detection systems is described. The chromatic dispersion compensation technique is demonstrated in a 6-Gb/s SSB phase-shift-keying (PSK) homodyne detection system equivalent experiment. A 270-km conventional single-mode fiber is used as a transmission medium at 1.55 mu m, and a microstrip line is used as a delay equalizer. The effect of compensating for the chromatic dispersion with the microstrip line is verified by improvement of eye-opening.<>
