Radio-on-fiber integration with fiber-to-the-home transport systems

We proposed and demonstrated an architecture by integrating radio-on-fiber (ROF) and fiber-to-the-home (FTTH) transport systems simultaneously with the help of injection locking scheme. An externally modulated radio frequency (RF) data stream and a directly modulated baseband (BB) data signal are simultaneously transmitted over an-80 km single-mode fiber (SMF) link. Good bit error rate (BER) performances are achieved in our proposed integrated transport systems. Such a proposed system is attractive and suitable for long-haul transmission due to its flexibility and simple architecture with low-cost.
