Abstract

We investigate the effect of fiber Bragg grating dispersion when used as an optical filter to generate optical single sideband modulation for fiber dispersion compensation in MM-wave fiber-wireless systems. Our results show that power penalties occur due to grating dispersion across the bandwidth of the transmitted data which requires optimization of the grating dispersion.
