Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein is an optical transport system configured to transport an amplitude-modulated optical signal generated at the transmitter using single-sideband modulation of an optical carrier and detected at the receiver using direct optical detection. The receiver is configured to estimate the level of signal-signal beat interference (SSBI) in the electrical signal generated upon direct detection of the received optical signal by first converting this electrical signal into a modified baseband signal configured for single-sideband modulation and then squaring and appropriately scaling this modified baseband signal. The receiver is further configured to subtract the estimated level of SSBI from the electrical signal generated by the direct optical detector and to process the resulting corrected electrical signal to recover the data encoded in the amplitude-modulated optical signal. Example analog and digital circuits for estimating the level of SSBI at the receiver are disclosed.
