Centralized Lightwave Radio-Over-Fiber System With Photonic Frequency Quadrupling for High-Frequency Millimeter-Wave Generation

We have proposed a novel radio-over-fiber architecture to reduce the system cost at both central office (CO) and base station (BS). In this architecture, by incorporating the proper dc bias and optical filtering techniques in CO, the optical millimeter- wave (mm-wave) carriers are generated with four times frequency of the local oscillator signal. The BS is simplified by using the separated optical carrier along with downlink mm-wave signals to carry the upstream data. We have experimentally demonstrated optical mm-wave carrier generation up to 64-GHz, and both down- and upstream signal delivery over 20 km fiber with 1-dB power penalty.
