Self-Phase Modulation affects the performance of Radio over Fiber (RoF) system by inducing spectral broadening of the transmitted pulse and thereby produces dispersion. This paper analyses the effects of SPM on optical pulse propagating through the fiber and proposed a SSP (symmetrical-symmetrical-post) compensation technique to overcome the effects of SPM in single-tone RoF system. The simulation results reveal that the pulse broadening due to SPM is reduced by utilizing SSP compensation technique in the transmission channel as it provides a 2 dB increase in OSNR as compared to the conventional compensation technique. The proposed technique provides an optimum result at a bit rate of 40 Gbps and launched power of 10 mW over a transmission distance of 400 km for mitigating SPM effects.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
