Abstract

A 10-Gb/s optical single sideband (OSSB) system using alternate mark inversion return-to-zero and ideal electrical precompensation of dispersion is optimized numerically by means of an optical dispersion compensator at the receiver side. The transmission regime observed in the optimized system resembles the pseudolinear regime previously described for systems with bit rates of 40 Gb/s and above. Considering multichannel transmission, the OSSB system has a Q -factor penalty of 2 dB compared to an intensity modulated optical double sideband system with optimized optical dispersion map.
