Hybrid harmonic subcarrier optical single sideband with phase predistortion

It has been shown that optical single sideband modulation is useful for mitigation of fibre chromatic dispersion effects on subcarrier intensity modulated-direct detection optical links. It is shown that a simple phase compression technique may be employed to reduce the complexity of microwave subcarrier modulated optical links, yielding a general method for phase modulation that is compatible with the inherent argument multiplication encountered in harmonic translation through nonlinear optical networks
