Abstract

We propose here a monolithically integrated dual RF access electroabsorption-modulated laser called D-EML for the generation of optical single-sideband signal for both nonreturn to zero and orthogonal frequency division multiplexing formats. The benefits of optical single-sideband over double sideband in terms of resilience against chromatic dispersion effects are presented for high-bit rate intensity modulation/direct detection transmissions over standard single mode fiber in the C-band. Both simulation and experimentation exhibit transmission distance enhancement in the case of dual modulation of the D-EML, i.e., in optical single-sideband configuration, making this optical source an interesting solution because of its low-cost, low-size, and reasonable-power consumption.
