Abstract :
We theoretically study the stability of single-sideband-modulator based recirculating frequency shifter (RFS) used for Tb/s multi-carrier optical transmission, in the presence of modulator nonlinearity and optical amplifier noise. Optimum operation conditions are found for various scenarios.
