Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel architecture for a W-band integrated optical wireless system, which adopts a 2×2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless link based on antenna polarization diversity, and can realize 80 km single-mode fiber-28 transmission and 2 m wireless delivery for up to 39 Gbaud polarization-division-multiplexing quadrature-phase-shift-keying (PDM-QPSK) signal at 100 GHz. Classic constant-modulus-algorithm (CMA) equalization is adopted at the receiver to implement polarization demultiplexing. The 2×2 MIMO wireless link adopts one pair of horizontal-polarization (H-polarization) horn antennas (HAs) and one pair of vertical-polarization (V-polarization) HAs. Because the two pairs of HAs are fully isolated, the wireless cross talk can be effectively avoided. Thus, compared to the 2×2 MIMO wireless link at the same antenna polarization, the adoption of antenna polarization diversity cannot only make the HA adjustment easier but can also reduce the required CMA tap number. After removing 20% forward-error-correction overhead, the 39 Gbaud baud rate corresponds to a net bit rate of 130 Gb/s, which, to our best knowledge, is the highest bit rate per PDM channel demonstrated for wireless signal delivery up to now.
