Asymmetric self-coherent detection with mitigated SSBI enhancement using partial pre-compensation

We propose a partial pre-compensation scheme to mitigate the SSBI enhancement induced by the non-ideal receiver response of double-sideband self-coherent detection systems. 1.2 dB enhancement of the power sensitivity is achieved based on optimized partial pre-compensation in a chromatic dispersion-based asymmetric self-coherent detection system.
