1.25Gbps WDM-RoF optical transmission for wired/wireless access network using multi optical carrier suppression in FP LD

Abstract

A novel wavelength division multiplexing - radio over fiber scheme is proposed with multi optical carrier suppression for simultaneous wired and wireless 1.25 Gbps signal transmission. Many modes of a FP-LD are simultaneously carrier suppressed by Mach-Zehnder modulator and each channel is modulated by a reflective semiconductor optical amplifier. A BER of 10-11 for three channels at 1.25 Gbps are achieved after 23 km transmission.
