Description
Summary:In this work, we demonstrate an integrated optical baseband, free space optical (FSO) communication and millimeter-wave (MMW) traffics through the present passive optical network (PON) architecture by utilizing single wavelength for broadcasting triple-play services. In the execution, we exploit 10 Gbit/s on-off keying (OOK) modulation on 10 GHz Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) to produce the downstream baseband signal. And the 10 Gbit/s baseband signal also can cause FSO traffic within the forward error correction (FEC) target after 25 km fiber and 160 m free space transmissions. Moreover, we can utilize the fiber to the extension (FTTE) scheme to provide the 36.42 GHz MMW with 10 Gbit/s OOK data after 25 km fiber link and 8 km extended fiber transmission.
