Multicarrier distribution of multiplex digital compressed TV channels using a harmonic laser source at 38 GHz

摘要

ACTS FRANS project is investigating alternative optical MM-wave source solutions for implementing ATM radio over fibre network. In this context, we have demonstrated that multicarrier operation with 16 QAM data signals on a optical nonlinear laser at 38 GHz can be achieved. Several TV channels have been distributed through a 9 km standard fibre link using this optical source with less than 0.5 dB penalty.
