Linearity Enhancement of a Directly Modulated Uncooled DFB Laser in a Multi-Channel Wireless-over-Fibre Systems

Abstract: -We present the first experimental demonstration of two 3.5 MSymb/s QPSK modulated wireless channels over fibre in a 2.2 km fibre ring architecture using feed-forward linearisation at the base station to improve the dynamic range of a directly modulated uncooled DFB laser. A reduction of 10 dB is observed in the spectral re-growth caused due to strong input from the adjacent channel together with reduction from 25% to <10% in the error vector magnitude at input level of -25 dBm of the weaker channel. Intermodu… Show more

“…When a laser is used, it can be directly modulated with UL data [74,75] or an external modulation scheme can be selected. For the laser-free configuration, the CS provides the optical tone for UL transmission.…”

“…The proportion of noise coupled to the output depended on the coupling ratio of the optical coupler 2 and this could be minimised by using a coupler which has a coupling ratio of 10 dB or more. T. Ismail, et al [11], presented the effectiveness of the feedforward linearisation system in suppressing spectral re-growth caused by a directly modulated uncooled DFB Laser for the transmission of multichannel 3.5 MSymb/s QPSK modulated wireless signal centered around 2.4 GHz in a fibre ring distribution architecture at the Base Station. A reduction of intermodulation distortion was achieved when two strong channel are at +12 dBm input level.…”

“…To provide large area network coverage such as at an airport, RF modulated optical signals are generated at the central station and distributed to remote base stations without significant loss using optical fiber and reach the mobile user via RF transmission allowing mobility [1]. Since multiple RF carriers are multiplexed together and transmitted through optical links, undesired inter-modulation distortion products (IMD) or four wave mixing (FWM) are produced due to nonlinear devices, such as laser diode, Mach-Zehnder Modulator, optical amplifier and etc.…”
