Summary :

We propose a method of reducing laser-clipping-induced distortion in a subcarrier multiplexed (SCM) optical-cable TV system. This scheme reduces amplitude peaks of the SCM signal by controlling the phases of video carriers to prevent the clipping which occurs when these peaks fall below the threshold of a laser-diode. It is experimentally shown that using this method reduces the bit error rate in an AM-VSB / QAM hybrid optical-transmission system.
