Technique to improve carrier-to-interference ratio of optical single sideband with carrier modulated signals

Opt Express. 2006 Nov 13;14(23):11077-81. doi: 10.1364/oe.14.011077.

Abstract

We propose and demonstrate a simple technique to improve the carrier-to-interference ratio (CIR) of optical single sideband with carrier modulated signals for fiber-radio applications. The proposed scheme is demonstrated via experiment and simulation with a two-tone test showing that an improvement in CIR of 9 dB can be achieved.
