Abstract

A small signal analysis for analyzing the conversion between intensity and phase modulation or noise in a dispersive fiber is given. Using this theory the small signal response of laser diodes with respect to intensity and phase modulation in dispersive optical fibers is derived. Guidelines are also given for considerably reducing the intensity noise if a fiber with a suitable dispersion is used. All analytical calculations are compared with numerical simulations and good agreement is achieved
