Abstract
In this letter, we investigate the combination of single-sideband (SSB) and double-sideband (DSB) modulation techniques in up-converting millimeter-wa ve fiber-optic links. It is shown that the dispersion-induced power penalty due to fiber chromatic dispersion may be mitigated and eventually overcome by employing MZ-EOM SSB modulation over the local oscillator signal and / or the intermediate frequency signal. Experimental results are provided for the hybrid modulation scheme which combines both SSB and DSB. (C) 1999 Joh n Wiley & Sons, Inc.
