Abstract

A scheme for compensation of dispersion-induced power fading is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The system transmits two modulated laser lights via a wavelength division multiplexer and a wavelength division demultiplexer. By optimizing the power ratio and the phase difference between the two modulated signals, the dispersion-induced power fading can be adequately compensated. A key significance of our approach is that no adjustments are required when the input radio frequency signal scans over a broad bandwidth of 1 to 12 GHz. We successfully demonstrate the compensation of the power fading for both 20- and 30-km fiber links. An improvement of spurious-free dynamic range is also achieved.
