A bidirectional hybrid cable antenna television (CATV)/radio-over-fiber (ROF) wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) transport system using injection locking technique to suppress the rf power degradation, tunable optical bandpass filter to generate optical single-sideband format for the CATV signal or only one optical sideband format for the ROF one, and photonic crystal fiber to reduce the net dispersion is proposed and demonstrated. Impressive performances of the carrier-to-noise ratio, the composite second-order, the composite triple beat, and the bit error rate were obtained in our proposed systems.

Abstract-An externally modulated NTSC 77-channel erbium-doped fiber amplifier (EDFA)-repeated system employing Fabry-Perot (FP) etalon at the receiving site to improve system performance was proposed and demonstrated.In comparison with conventional externally modulated fiber optical CATV transport systems, good performance of carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR), composite second order (CSO), and composite triple beat (CTB) were achieved for the full channel band over a 100-km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission. Our proposed systems are suitable for the long-haul fiber optical CATV transport systems.

Abstract:We propose and demonstrate a repeaterless directly modulated fiber optical CATV transport system based on half-split-band and remote light injection techniques. Good performances of carrierto-noise ratio (CNR), composite second order (CSO) and composite triple beat (CTB) were obtained over a 50-km single mode fiber (SMF) transmission without optical amplification. Our proposed repeaterless directly modulated fiber optical CATV transport systems are simpler and cost lower than conventional externally modulated ones.
