F. Ramos et al., Dispersion-tolerant data transmission based on the use of fiber-induced self-phase modulation in microwave optical links, MICROW OPT, 27(1), 2000, pp. 1-4
Error-free transmission in dispersion-limited microwave fiber-optic links i
s demonstrated. The principle is based on the frequency chirp generated by
fiber-induced self-phase modulation which, in combination with the chromati
c dispersion, lends to an improvement of the frequency-length product of th
e optical link. Experimental results for 8 Mbit/s data transmission at 7 GH
z through 75 km of standard single-mode fiber confirm the good performance
of this technique. (C) 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
