Adaptively modulated optical OFDM modems utilizing RSOAs as intensity modulators in IMDD SMF transmission systems
<25>This is multi-disciplinary research collaboration; our involvement was to develop a comprehensive theoretical model of an optical network used in this work for extensive numerical simulations, undertaken exploring the transmission performance of RSOA modulated AMOOFDM signals over IMDD SMF transmission systems without in-line optical amplification and chromatic dispersion compensation for WDM-PONs. Detailed performance comparisons have been made between RSOA and SOA intensity modulators. Optimum RSOA operating conditions have been identified, which are independent of RSOA rear-facet reflectivity and very similar to those corresponding to SOAs.
