Abstract

ABSTRACT A Wavelength Division Multiplexing (WDM)-enabled analog mobile fronthaul architecture is presented supporting enhanced flexibility by exploiting the fine filtering properties of a fully reconfigurable, silicon photonics-based filtering element. Numerical studies are presented emphasizing on the flexibility, low-energy consumption, and the compatibility of our proposed chip-scale implementations with the analog Radio over Fiber (RoF)-based mobile transport. Proof-of-concept analog photonic processing of 1 Gbaud Quadrature Phase Shift Keying (QPSK)-modulated radio is successfully demonstrated through RoF transmission experiments. The integration of the analog mobile fronthauling segment in a WDM-enabled, Reconfigurable Optical Add/Drop Multiplexers (ROADM)-assisted fronthaul/midhaul infrastructure supporting low-latency edge computing is also discussed.

支持融合5G移动前传和中程传输层的集成光子滤波器

提出了一种支持波分复用(WDM)的模拟移动前传架构，通过利用完全可重构的基于硅光子学的滤波元件的精细滤波特性来增强灵活性。数值研究强调了我们提出的芯片级实现与基于模拟光纤无线通信(RoF)的移动传输的灵活性、低能耗和兼容性。通过RoF传输实验，成功地验证了1 Gbaud正交相移键控(QPSK)调制无线电的概念验证模拟光子处理。还讨论了将模拟移动前传段集成到支持wdm的可重构光加/丢复用器(ROADM)辅助的前传/中传基础设施中，支持低延迟边缘计算。

期刊介绍： Fiber and Integrated Optics , now incorporating the International Journal of Optoelectronics, is an international bimonthly journal that disseminates significant developments and in-depth surveys in the fields of fiber and integrated optics. The journal is unique in bridging the major disciplines relevant to optical fibers and electro-optical devices. This results in a balanced presentation of basic research, systems applications, and economics. For more than a decade, Fiber and Integrated Optics has been a valuable forum for scientists, engineers, manufacturers, and the business community to exchange and discuss techno-economic advances in the field.
