3.0-Gb/s signal transmission over a fiber-wireless hybrid link at the 22.5-GHz-band is demonstrated. A frequency-stabilized radio-over-fiber signal is generated using an optical phase-locked-loop driven by a synthesizer using a direct photonic up-conversion technique.

In order to measure frequency responses of O/ E conversion devices such as photodiodes (PDs), we developed a measurement instrument named lightwave frequency response analyzer (LFRA). LFRA, which is based on a heterodyne technique utilizing an optical modulator, provides precise measurement solution with cost effective instrument. Measured results of two individual LFRAs show standard deviations less than 0.15 dB and maximum instrument difference less than 0.7 dB.

Terahertz-wave signal transmission is demonstrated using quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) by photonics. Small frequency fluctuations using a frequency-locked optical frequency comb are capable of generating a 80-MHz-bandwidth 16-ary-QAM signal with a data rate of 195 Mb/s.

We demonstrated frequency-quadruple optical two-tone signal generation using integrated modulator driven by one-port RF signal input without optical filters. As a result, we generated the two-tone signal and the spurious suppression ratio was 27 dB.

An electro-optic (EO) modulator integrated with the microwave planar circuit directly prepared onto a LiNbO3 substrate for low chirp performance and compact configuration is introduced. A microwave rat-race (RR) circuit, which operates as the 180-degree hybrid, is designed on a z-cut LiNbO3 substrate to create two modulation signals of the same amplitude in antiphase with each other from a single-input signal. Output ports of the RR were connected to the modulation electrodes on the substrate. The two signals drive two phase modulation parts of dual-electrode Mach-Zehnder modulator so that the symmetric interference are realized to obtain low-chirp intensity modulated light signals. The modulator was designed and fabricated for around 10 GHz modulation frequencies and 1550 nm light wavelength. The chirp parameters were measured to be less than 0.2 in the frequency range between 8 and 12 GHz. By compensating the unbalance of the light power splitting the chirp could be significantly reduced.

We propose and investigate Conjugated-Paired Radio-on-Fiber (C-RoF) transmission, which shows high tolerance against optical nonlinearity in optical fiber links, aiming for achieving higher RF link gain. It is shown that the nonlinear distortion is cancelled out by the C-RoF technique.

We propose a generation method for arbitrary patterned optical pulse trains for ultra-wideband signal generation in the terahertz (THz) range. Arbitrary-patterned optical pulse trains were generated by a Mach-Zehnder-modulator-based flat comb generator combined with a pulse picker driven by a pulse pattern generator.

Wavelength characteristics of the extinction ratio of optical Mach-Zehnder modulator using an active Y-branch is evaluated over C-band wavelengths. The observed extinction ratios are achieved greater than 60 dB at all of the wavelengths by optimization of applying voltage to the Y-branch by each wavelength.
