The performances of an optical coherent FDM system based on ASK modulation and optical multiport receiver are analysed. The receiver allows baseband operation without phase-locking and, in presence of an ideal optical hybrid, it completely eliminates the intermodulation noise. The effects of channel crosstalk and of optical hybrid non-idealities are considered to evaluate the feasibility of the system.
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.
