Bidirectional hybrid CATV/radio-over-fiber WDM transport system

Abstract

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.

Wideband and Channel Switchable Mode Division Multiplexing (MDM) Optical Power Divider Supporting 7.682 Tbit/s for On-Chip Optical Interconnects

“…In recent years, high bandwidth demands have been due to the worldwide deployment of the Internet-of-Things (IOT), big data analysis, on-line gaming and shopping, video streaming, and many different internet-based services [ 1 , 2 , 3 , 4 , 5 , 6 , 7 ]. For the data center networks, the electronic interconnect data rates are limited by high power consumption.…”

Wired and wireless convergent extended-reach optical access network using direct-detection of all-optical OFDM super-channel signal

“…Hence wired and wireless convergent network architectures have been proposed [2,3]. This can be achieved by transmitting both baseband and radio frequency (RF) signals simultaneously using radio-over-fiber (ROF) technologies [2][3][4][5]. Interestingly, major carriers also have a similar predication (known as Edholm's Law of bandwidth) [6].…”

A scalable and continuous-upgradable optical wireless and wired convergent access network

“…Multiple-play service systems were proposed for the convergence of Internet data, voice, video, and mobile services [1][2][3][4][5]. This can be implemented by using wavelength-division multiplexing (WDM) [1,6], radio-over-fiber (RoF) technologies [7][8][9]; and spectral-efficient coding techniques [10]. In these multiple-play systems, providing wireless services are important for mobile applications.…”
