Abstract

Nonlinear cross talk and stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) reduction are demonstrated in an analog wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) optical communication system using optical carrier suppression. Cross talk reduction by 20 dB over 2 GHz is achieved. SBS is negligible without employing any frequency or phase dithering.
