Modulation Diversity for Chromatic Dispersion Compensation in Analog Photonic Links

Abstract

We present two solutions for chromatic dispersion compensation in analog photonic links based on modulation diversity. Both concepts are described in theory and demonstrated experimentally. The first, a modulation diversity receiver, on the other hand, is shown to be a completely passive device that adequately compensates for an arbitrary amount of chromatic dispersion in an analog fiber optic link. A band-limited design of the receiver is demonstrated, but essentially any bandwidth can be realized.
