ABSTRACT A carrier phase-shifted (CPS) double sideband (DSB) modulation technique in radio-over-fiber (RoF) system is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. By tuning the biases in a single-drive dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (SD-DPMZM), the optical carrier in the DSB spectrum acquires additional phase shift. The transmittance response of a dispersive RoF link is thus being controlled and shifted in the frequency domain. Experiments successfully turned the maximum transmission frequency to 10 GHz and 15 GHz for both 25 and 39 km fiber links. This is also a highly linear scheme, of which a spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) of 111.3 dB·Hz2/3 is experimentally obtained.

[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This letter presents a chromatic dispersion (CD) compensation scheme using parallel electro-optic phase and intensity modulators suitable for long-reach radio-over-fiber links. By properly adjusting the optical power and the time delay between the two modulated signals, the power fading aroused by the CD is adequately compensated over a wide operating bandwidth of 0–18 GHz over a 34-km single-mode fiber (SMF). Compared with a double sideband (DSB) modulated link, an enhancement of up to 31 ${\rm dB}{\mmb\cdot}{\rm Hz}^{2/3}$ in the spur-free dynamic range for a 9.5-GHz signal is obtained. Furthermore, a bit-error rate of $10^{-10}$ is obtained when a 9.5-GHz carrier loading 2-Gb/s pseudorandom bit sequence is transmitted over the dispersive link, which is not achievable for the DSB modulated link.

##### Article: Continuously Tunable Microwave Photonic Notch Filter With a Complex Coefficient
[Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: This paper presents a continuously tunable microwave photonic notch filter with a complex coefficient. The complex coefficient is generated using a radio-frequency (RF) phase shifter that consists of a dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) and a tunable optical bandpass filter (TBPF). By simply controlling the bias voltage of the DPMZM, the frequency response of the filter can be continuously tuned over a full free spectral range (FSR) without changing the shape of the frequency response.
