Abstract

Compared with previous generations, fifth-generation communications can provide faster download and upload speeds and support a greater number of connected devices. Integrating fifth-generation signals with optical wireless communication systems provides promising ways to afford higher transmission rates and faster wireless connectivity. Here we report a fifth-generation wavelength-division-multiplexing-based bidirectional optical wireless communication system with signal remodulation employing cascaded reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers to effectively remove the downstream data for uplink transmission. It shows a fifth-generation wavelength-division-multiplexing-based bidirectional optical wireless communication system using four wavelengths for communication. The uplink performance is substantially enhanced by using two reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers to remove the downstream data. The system achieves an aggregate transmission rate of 36.4 Gbit/s for both downlink and uplink transmissions over a 100-m optical wireless link. This demonstrated fifth-generation wavelength-division-multiplexing-based bidirectional optical wireless communication system employing cascaded reflective semiconductor optical amplifiers holds great potential for enhancing fifth-generation advanced communication capabilities.
