The effects of drive level errors on optical SSB system performance
This paper presents a system performance analysis of an optical single sideband system (OSSB) when drive level errors occur in the modulating signal driving the dual arm Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). The performance is evaluated in terms of the optical sideband suppression, frequency response and po...

| description | This paper presents a system performance analysis of an optical single sideband system (OSSB) when drive level errors occur in the modulating signal driving the dual arm Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM). The performance is evaluated in terms of the optical sideband suppression, frequency response and power penalty measurements. Experiments are carried out and a mathematical model of the OSSB system incorporating the drive level error is developed. The theoretical and experimental results suggest that the drive level error leads to reduced system performance as a result of poor received subcarrier power. The overall frequency response of the system, which is affected by drive level errors, accumulated CD and subcarrier frequency, has a direct influence over the power penalty. However, reduction in power penalty slope is observed at peaks of the OSSB frequency response. |
