“…Apart from the fact that the presented work in [14] was brief, some salient concepts of the simplified transceivers such as carrier/SSB signal generation, SSBN mitigation, spectral broadening, CSPR optimization, and field and polarization recoveries were not discussed. Moreover, the great majority of the contributions focused on one-or two-optical-SSB-signal generation [12,[53][54][55][56], while most also presented one or two SSBN mitigation/digital linearization schemes [12,21,22,29,30,46,54,[57][58][59]. Furthermore, in [55,56], the SSB signal generation was well presented, while little or no consideration was given to the SSBN mitigation/digital linearization schemes.…”
