All optical ultra-wideband signal generation and transmission using mode-locked laser incorporated with add-drop microring resonator

The novel technique for generating the robust, ultra-wideband (UWB) signal in the optical domain using a mode-locked laser incorporated with an add-drop microring resonator filter is presented. In order to enable the down conversion of the UWB signal to the RF domain, two wavelength ranges 1553.72 and 1553.92 nm, which are 24.65 GHz apart from each other, are used. These wavelengths were generated based on a single longitudinal mode (SLM) dual-wavelength fiber laser in a laser ring cavity. The upper wavelength of the generated dual-wavelength laser is modulated with the UWB spectrum using an optical carrier suppression (OCS) scheme and the lower wavelength is kept unmodulated. After beating the modulated and unmodulated wavelength by launching into the photodiode, the 24 GHz UWB signal can be generated to be applied to UWB over fiber (UWBoF) technology. The error vector magnitude (EVM) for the signal transmission was calculated and the EVM below 10% is achieved for 25 Km optical and 20 m wireless links.
