Abstract
The spectral density of the optical intensity which results after modulated noisy light is propagated in dispersive single-mode fiber is investigated theoretically and experimentally. An exact general result is obtained for the case of lowest-order-only group velocity dispersion and is applied to light from a 1550-nm distributed-feedback semiconductor laser which is large-signal phase modulated and then propagated through 50 km of standard single-mode fiber. Experimental results demonstrate the effect of dispersion on the intensity spectrum (and thus, on lightwave system characteristics such as modulation response, relative intensity noise, carrier-to-noise ratio, and harmonic distortion) in this situation and provide confirmation of the theoretical results.
