Abstract :
We demonstrate that double-Rayleigh-scattering-induced optical-intensity noise in separate fibers is only partially correlated. Hence, double-Rayleigh-scattering contributes to the uncorrelated fiber-induced noise that limits the performance of active feedback cancellation in two-way unidirectional RF-photonic links.
