A 20-Gbps optical light-based WiFi (LiFi) transport system employing vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) and external light injection technique with 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM)-orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) modulating signal is proposed. Good bit error rate (BER) performance and clear constellation map are achieved in our proposed optical LiFi transport systems. An optical LiFi transport system, delivering 16-QAM-OFDM signal over a 6-m free-space link, with a data rate of 20 Gbps, is successfully demonstrated. Such a 20-Gbps optical LiFi transport system provides the advantage of a free-space communication link for high data rates, which can accelerate the visible laser light communication (VLLC) deployment.

A hybrid lightwave subcarrier CATV/16-QAM/16-QAM orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM) transmission system employing light injection/optoelectronic feedback techniques and photonic crystal fiber (PCF) is proposed and demonstrated. Good performance of carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), composite second order, and composite triple beat were obtained for the CATV band, and high CNR and low bit error rate values were achieved for the 16-QAM and 16-QAM OFDM bands over a combination of 80 km single-mode fiber (SMF) and 2.86 km PCF transport.

Abstract-A full-duplex radio-over-fiber (ROF) transport system employing semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA)-based optical single sideband (SSB) modulation technique is proposed and demonstrated. For our proposed approach, it is relatively simple to implement as it requires only one SOA to generate optical SSB signal. Over an-80 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission, low bit error rate (BER), clear eye diagram, and low third-order intermodulation distortion to carrier ratio (IMD 3 /C) were achieved. Our proposed full-duplex ROF transport systems are suitable for the long-haul microwave optical links.
