Cover Story: In the field of short-reach optical communications, self-coherent detection (SCD) systems, which can achieve low-complexity optical field recovery at a low cost, have garnered significant research attention. However, a guard band is required between the carrier and the signal in SCD systems due to the limitations of non-ideal receiver transfer function. In this paper, we propose a spectrum inversion-based double-sideband (SI-DSB) modulation scheme. Through the shifting of the signal to the high-frequency region by means of spectrum inversion, a guard band is created around zero frequency. The results show that the proposed SI-DSB modulation scheme not only achieves comparable performance to the conventional twin-SSB modulation scheme but also significantly reduces DSP complexity. View this paper
