Abstract
AbstractThe author numerically investigates the performance of a 100 Gb/s dual‐polarization quadrature phase‐shift keying (DP‐QPSK) coherent radio‐over‐fiber (RoF) system through deploying various lengths of standard single‐mode fiber (SSMF). The utilization of a microwave photonic integrated circuit (MPIC) as the core building block of this optical coherent RoF link both in downlink and uplink, combined with digital signal processing (DSP) has led to a new RoF scheme which demonstrated the feasibility to operate at the low input RF power. The performance of the RoF system with respect to the optical received power induced by channel SNR is also investigated. It has been demonstrated that for a 200 km length of fiber, a laser with a linewidth of less than 1 MHz results in the EVM compliant to the IEEE standards. It has been also verified that the link offers higher linearity and better receiver sensitivity compared to the conventional intensity modulated and directly detected optical communication systems.
