Abstract
We experimentally demonstrated the simultaneous transmission of a 2.5 Gb/s packet-switched payload data and an 80 Mb/s control channel using the multichannel subcarrier multiplexing (MSCM) signaling scheme. A 3 2.3-dB optical power budget was obtained by using a semiconductor opti cal amplifier (SOA) as a preamplifier, We optimized the subcarrier mod ulation depth at the transmitter and the tapping ratio at the receiver . The tradeoffs between different SOA-preamplified receiver configurat ions were investigated.
