A full-duplex radio-over-fiber (ROF) system with centralized light source and bidirectional fiber transmission is proposed and experimentally demonstrated based on optical sideband reuse in the base station (BS). The proposed ROF system has a simple structure in the central office (CO) using only one dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) to simultaneously generate two first order sidebands and modulate the optical carrier with the downstream base band signal. In the BS, the downstream RF signal is generated by beating the optical carrier with one of the sidebands at a photo-detector, and the other optical sideband is reused as a light source and modulated by the upstream RF signal. No frequency up/down-conversion is needed in the BS, which also leads to a simplified system configuration. A proof-of-concept experiment is carried out. Performance of the established 18 GHz full-duplex ROF system with bidirectional transmission through 20 km single mode fiber (SMF) is investigated. The results verify that the proposed architecture is a good candidate for future high-speed and low-cost ROF networks.

We design and fabricate a novel silicon-based optical spectral shaper for the generation of a largely chirped microwave waveform. The optical spectral shaper has a Mach-Zehnder interferometer structure in which multiple micro-ring resonators are cascaded. By controlling the radii of the rings, the spectral response of the spectral shaper can be controlled to have a largely increasing or decreasing free spectral range, which is needed for the generation of a largely chirped microwave waveform based on spectral shaping and wavelength-to time (SS-WTT) mapping. The proposed optical spectral shaper is fabricated using a CMOS compatible process with 193-nm deep ultraviolet lithography. By using such an optical spectral shaper in an SS-WTT mapping system, a largely chirped microwave waveform with a bandwidth of 15.55 GHz and a chirp rate of 17.2 GHz/ns is demonstrated.

A single sideband (SSB) sub carrier multiplexed (SCM) quadrature phase shift keyed (QPSK) 60 GHz radio over fibre transmission system employing a gain switched DFB laser for millimetre wave generation is demonstrated. Error free transmission of a 1.25 Gbaud/s QPSK signal over 25 km of standard single mode fibre (SSMF) is achieved with a low cost laser and low cost electronics. Our research demonstrates a cost effective mm-wave generation and transmission system which is baud rate/modulation format scalable.

We investigated the performance of the latest burst-mode erbium-doped fiber amplifier (BM-EDFA) for uplink transmission of radio-over-fiber signals by using the long-term evolution advanced format. The new BM-EDFA was designed to have high linearity in the high output power range. Compared with conventional EDFAs, we observed lower error vector magnitudes over a wide range of optical input power.

We present an end-to-end model of a microwave photonics transistor (MWPT). The device is divided into two stages: The microwave photonic (MWP) and the pure radiofrequency (RF) parts. Expressions are derived for the linear and nonlinear current terms in the transition point between them and at the system output to obtain the final expressions for the overall figures of merit (FOMs) as a function of those of the MWP and RF parts. We develop several application examples for specific MWP system configurations previously reported in the literature with a view of comparing the impact that both the MWP and the RF parts have on the overall performance metrics of the MWPT.

The performance of a Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) transmission in millimeter-wave (MMW) band with optical signal re-modulation is experimentally studied. By investigating the trade-off between the two typical signal modulation schemes utilizing two-tone and an intermediate frequency, we clarify a chart for the system design and reveal the applicable fields of each modulation scheme in the system. The obtained results will enable us to design the MMW band RoF transmission systems in a practical scenario, with key indexes of the required signal-to-noise ratio and the complexity of system configuration.

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a method to generate 10-GHz and broadband optical frequency comb by novel stretch-type time-lens rather than nonlinear effects in actively mode-locked fiber laser. Injection locking and feedback loop have been used to suppress super-mode noise and help stabilize the optical spectrum. As a result, a comb that 20-dB bandwidth equals to 8nm and phase noise lower than -120 dBc/Hz in beat 10GHz microwave signal is achieved.
