Abstract :
Summary form only given.Optical single sideband modulation has received great interest as a way to reduce the dispersion penalty of analog fiber-optic systems. We propose and demonstrate a tandem single sideband fiber-optic link, which uses a dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator to place different information in each of the two sidebands, thus doubling the bandwidth efficiency.
