WDM Millimeter-Wave-Band Radio-on-Fiber Systems Using a Supercontinuum Light Source - Demultiplexing Experiment of WDM Channels Using a Free Spectral Range of AWG-

摘要

We have proposed the use of a supercontinuum (SC) light source in wavelength-division-multiplexed (WDM) millimeter-wave-band (mm-wave-band) radio-on-fiber (RoF) systems. In this report, we investigate a demultiplexing technique of WDM channels effectively using a free spectral range (FSR) of arrayed-waveguidergrating (AWG) in a remote node of the WDM mm-wave-band RoF system. The delivery of 2-channel WDM 60-GHz-band RoF signals transmitted over a 25-km-long standard single-mode fiber (SMF) is experimentally demonstrated utilizing AWG with the FSR of 0.8-THz.
