Abstract
We present a simplified model for quick estimation of the ultimate capacity of subcarrier multiplexed lightwave system using M-QAM, This analytical mo del assumes a directly modulated laser diode under relative intensity noise limitation and clipping distortion. Our results show very good agreement w ith those obtained using full analysis.
