Abstract
We describe the application of subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) to enable broadband transmission beyond the modal bandwidth of multimode fiber (MMF) optical links. The application of a quadrature phase-shift keying modem featuring novel carrier and symbol-timing recovery circuits, demonstrates significant enhancement in channel capacity. By using a 2.7-GHz pilot-tone-injected phase-locked loop (PLL) and referencing subscriber data to a prescaled version of the subcarrier, zero-latency carrier and data synchronization has been achieved exhibiting 675 Mb/s bit-oriented clock extraction in network terminal equipments. The novel scheme is scalable to higher aggregate rates and upgrades to existing installed-base 50 mum MMF infrastructure to provide low-cost, high-capacity interconnects for storage area and campus network applications
