Abstract :
Intra/inter-band cross-modulations due to Mach-Zehnder modulator nonlinearity in multi-band radio-over-fiber systems is investigated. Signal quality degradation induced by cross-modulation for single-/multi-band scalar and vector signals is analyzed theoretically and validated by experiments.
