Abstract
An optical transmitter for digitally modulated RF sub-carriers comprising an electroabsorption modulator integrated distributed feedback laser for transmitting the digitally modulated RF sub-carriers in the sub-octave frequency range. The negative bias is optimized for maximum carrier signal to noise ratio (CNR) which occurs when the composite triple beat (CTB) non-linear distortion is minimum that allows higher modulation index without causing any in-band distortion. A higher CNR increases the receiver sensitivity and thus more users can be served from a single transmitter or the transmitting signal can be modulated with higher order of digital modulation.
