Abstract

This paper is concerned with the analysis of the nonlinear distortion of Orthogonal Frequency-Division Multiplex (OFDM) signals caused by semiconductor laser in a Radio-over- Fiber link. A third order polynomial without memory is used to present the nonlinearity of semiconductor laser. The expression of in-band noise due to nonlinear distortion is then derived. Moreover, the relation of carrier-to-noise ratio with optical modulation index is analyzed. The analytical method is applicable for nonlinearity analysis and useful to select the optical modulation index of OFDM- ROF system.
