ABSTRACT

In this Letter, we experimentally demonstrate an unamplified analog RoF distribution of 60 GHz 5G signals. The system entails the heterodyning of two optical tones from an externally injected gain switched laser (EI-GSL) based optical frequency comb to generate a millimeter wave (mmW) signal. A fixed frequency separation and a high level of phase correlation, between the EI-GSL comb lines, results in the generation of a high-quality signal. An active demultiplexer is used to filter and amplify two comb tones, thus alleviating the need for an external optical amplifier to boost the low power comb tones. Furthermore, the same demultiplexer is also used to modulate one of the tones with a 64-QAM UF-OFDM signal. Such an approach enables the remote generation of a mmW downlink data signal as well as an unmodulated RF carrier that could be used to downconvert the mmW signals to an intermediate frequency. Using the abovementioned scheme, we demonstrate the distribution of the downlink signal over 25 km of fiber, achieving a BER of 2.4e-3 (below the HD-FEC limit of 3.8e-3) and only a 0.5 dB penalty at the FEC limit in comparison to the BtB case.

ABSTRACT

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a power efficient dual-stage optical frequency comb using laser gain switching followed by a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM). The laser is initially gain switched at ∼ 9.5 GHz and the resultant comb is then expanded using a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator driven at ∼ 19 GHz with signal amplitudes below 1.5 V. The setup generates an optical frequency comb, with 12 lines within 3 dB flatness, in a power efficient manner. Theoretical analysis is presented and verified through simulation and experimental results.
