50-Gbps 100-km EAM-based OFDM-IMDD Transmission Employing Novel SSII Cancellation

Abstract

We build a new SSII cancellation technique to compensate both modulator nonlinearity and dispersion-induced nonlinear distortion. Employing the SSII cancellation to optimize EAM operation, superior 50-Gbps EAM-based OFDM-IMDD transmission over 100-km SSMF is successfully demonstrated.
