Optical single side band OFDM transmission performance using a dual electroabsorption modulator laser in NG-PON context

Abstract : We report system simulation and experimental results on enhanced transmission distance over standard single mode fiber thanks to a novel dual modulation technique that generates a wideband optical single side band OFDM signal using a lowcost, integrated, dual RF access electro-absorption modulated laser. We obtained in experimentation and by simulation a BER lower than 10
