We propose and demonstrate conjugated RoF (C-RoF) secured by physical layer encryption with deliberate signal randomization, for high-RF-link-gain and high-security analog RoF transmission. 19.4-dBm high-power secured C-RoF-QPSK is experimentally achieved with improved fiber nonlinearity tolerance.

For monitoring high-speed optical telecom signals and/or spectrally broadened light waves, such as optical frequency combs, it is desired to measure the optical spectra with higher bandwidth and resolution. For the purposes, in this paper, we demonstrate a high-resolution and high-speed optical spectrum analyzer that only relies on a DSP operated at a much lower speed. This spectrum analyzer consists of two-stage spectroscopy systems, which is a diffractive grating system and a sampled heterodyne system. We experimentally demonstrate the spectral measurement with greater than 10-pm resolution at 100-kHz acquisition rate covering bandwidth of 5-GHz.

We experimentally demonstrated parallel extension of optoelectronic FIR filters that flexibly increases the number of taps, enhancing filter resolution. The FIR filter resolution was doubled from 6.17 GHz to 3.09 GHz by the dual parallelization.
