Optical equalization method for direct detection optical communication systems
Systems and methods of transmitting direct detection optical signal are provided. A direct detection optical transmitter according to illustrative embodiments includes a Mach Zehnder Modulator (MZM) configured to modulate laser light based on an electrical drive signal to generate a modulated optical signal and a complementary-modulated optical signal. The optical transmitter includes an optical finite impulse response (FIR) filter configured to receive the complementary-modulated optical signal and generate a filtered optical signal. The optical transmitter includes a polarization rotator configured to receive the filtered optical signal and output a rotated optical signal. The optical transmitter includes an optical combiner configured to combine the modulated optical signal and the rotated optical signal. The optical transmitter includes an output port configured to output the combined optical signal.
