We present a novel approach using dual-wavelength lights to suppress the nonlinear intermodulation distortion in intensity-modulated RoF link both theoretically and experimentally. The system we proposed rminly consists of two Laser Diodes （LDs） at different wavelengths, a commercial available Mach-Zehnder Modulator （MZM） and a Photo Detector （PD）. More than 25 dB suppression of the Third-order Interrnodulation Distortion （IMD3） is achieved by adjusting the wavelength and opti- cal power of the laser. Besides, the output of the MZM is then sent to the photodetector via a single fiber, which simplifies the system complexity for distrbution of RF signals over long distances.展开更多
