Abstract :
A scheme for the generation of a dispersion tolerant double-sideband with suppressed carrier signal is presented. An unbalanced fiber loop mirror, offering an optical bandwidth of more than 130 mm is used to select the required sidebands. Therefore it is very suited for application in radio over fiber system using WDM.
