Abstract

We proposed a novel linearization technique for a DFB LD in the RoF link. The proposed scheme is based on the cross gain modulation(XGM) effect of a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier(RSOA) with light injection. We experimentally demonstrated and evaluated the enhanced CIR performance using the proposed linearization scheme.
