Bidirectional multiband radio-over-fiber system based on polarization multiplexing and wavelength reuse.

A polarization multiplexing technique based on phase-shift-induced polarization modulation-to-intensity modulation (PloM-to-IM) convertor and a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) is proposed to generate multi-band signals. Successful transmission of the traditional radio frequency, microwave (MW) and millimeter wave (MMW) signals is simultaneously achieved. Meanwhile, the intensity-constant optical carrier (OC) is reused for upstream 25-km transmission.
