Optical Interface for IMD Reduction in Fiber-Radio Systems with Simultaneous Baseband Transmission for Heterogeneous Access Networks

We propose an optical interface incorporating an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) that simultaneously reduces intermodulation distortion (IMD) and multiplexes DWDM fiber-radio channels while supporting multiple baseband transmission in a heterogeneous access environment.
