Abstract:Lightwave systems discussed so far are based on a simple digital modulation scheme in which an electrical binary bit stream modulates the intensity of an optical carrier inside an optical transmitter (on-off keying or OOK). The resulting optical signal, after its transmission through the fiber link, falls directly on an optical receiver that converts it to the original digital signal in the electrical domain. Such a scheme is referred to as intensity modulation with direct detection (IM/DD). Many alternative s… Show more
