Flexible radio-over-fibre signal distribution in in-building networks based on modulated ASE noise

Abstract

To flexibly distribute RoF signals at remote site, a new colourless distribution system based on the modulated ASE noise of an SOA is proposed. Wi-Fi (802.11a/g) LAN signals are successfully transmitted including the wireless link with 3% EVM penalty

“…Although the nanosecond-level rising or falling time supported by SOAs can ensure a high switching speed, a large number of SOAs must be implemented in the switching matrix, making the system complicated, costly, and power consuming. To reduce the quantity of SOAs, nonlinear effects of XGM, self-phase modulation (SPM), XPM, and four-wave mixing (FWM) in SOAs have been proposed [81]- [84]. A representative optical RF Figure 8.…”
