ROF-OFDM system within terahertz-wave frequency range from 350GHz to 510GHz

We experimentally demonstrate a photonics-based radio-over-fiber orthogonal-frequency-division-multiplexing (ROFOFDM) system located within the terahertz-wave (THz-wave) frequency range from 350GHz to 510GHz. In our demonstrated system, 4.46-GHz-bandwidth OFDM quadrature-phases-shift-keying (OFDM-QPSK) THz-wave signal within the frequency range from 350GHz to 510GHz, can be generated and delivered over 2.5-inch wireless transmission distance, with a bit-error ratio (BER) under the hard-decision forward-error-correction (HD-FEC) threshold of 3.8×10-3. In our demonstrated system, 4.46-GHz-bandwidth OFDM-QPSK THz-wave signal at 450GHz is delivered over up to 35-km fiber transmission distance and 2.5-inch wireless transmission distance, with a BER of 3.8×10-3.
