Description

A hybrid lightwave transport system based on a broadband light source (BLS) with an optical signal-to-noise ratio (OSNR) enhancement scheme for millimeter-wave (MMW)/radio-over-fiber (RoF)/cable television (CATV) signal transmission is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Unlike traditional hybrid lightwave transport systems for signal transmission, in which a transmitting site needs multiple wavelength-selected distributed feedback laser diodes (DFB LDs) to support various services, such proposed systems employ a phase modulator to provide multiple optical carriers for various applications. Over an 80 km single-mode fiber (SMF) transmission, the bit error rate (BER)/carrier-to-noise ratio (CNR)/composite second-order (CSO)/composite triple-beat (CTB) perform brilliantly for hybrid 100 GHz MMW/50 GHz MMW/10 GHz RoF/550 MHz CATV signal transmission. Such a hybrid lightwave transport system would be attractive for fiber trunk applications to provide broadband integrated services. (letter)
