Abstract

The inverse return-zero (IRZ) modulation format and Manchester format were investigated as wavelength reusing schemes in the RoF downlink systems. Since both of the modulation formats featured power remaining in the bit slot regardless of the bit value, the downlink optical carrier can be reused as the uplink light source. The performances of two formats were analyzed in the symmetrical and asymmetrical duplex RoF system. It was found that IRZ is more suitable for symmetrical system, and the duty cycle of IRZ pulse is the critical factor on the asymmetrical RoF system performance. However the Manchester format demonstrated the large system tolerance on asymmetrical duplex RoF system with the receiver sensitivity degradation within 1 dB.
