S. Betti et al., NONLINEAR DISTORTIONS DUE TO THE DISPERSIVE TRANSMISSION OF SCM OPTICAL SIGNALS IN THE PRESENCE OF CHIRPING EFFECT - AN ACCURATE ANALYSIS, IEEE photonics technology letters, 9(12), 1997, pp. 1640-1642
In hybrid multichannel AM/QAM optical fiber transmission systems based
on subcarrier-multiplexing (SCM) technique, the performance is affect
ed by the joint action of the AM-FM conversion due to the chirping eff
ect in semiconductor laser and the chromatic dispersion of the optical
fiber, In this letter, analytical expressions of the power spectral d
ensity of the nonlinearity distortions due to ''dispersive'' transmiss
ion of chirped intensity-modulated signals are calculated, assuming th
at the message modulating the semiconductor laser is a Gaussian proces
