Pre-distortion to mitigate SPM effect in optical BPSK-SSB fiber transmission

Abstract

Pre-distortion using optical phase control by optical power monitoring is proposed to mitigate waveform degradation from SPM in dispersion-compensated fiber transmissions with BPSK-SSB modulation. The numerical evaluation confirmed that the pre-distortion can increase the fiber input power 15 dB compared to the noequalization case.
