Abstract

A full-duplex lightwave transport system employing wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) and optical add-drop multiplexing techniques, as well as optical free-space transmission scheme is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. Over an 80-km single-mode fiber (SMF) and 2.4 m optical free-space transmissions, impressive bit error rate (BER) performance is obtained for long-haul fiber link and finite free-space transmission distance. Such a full-duplex lightwave transport system based on long-haul SMF and optical free-space transmissions has been successfully demonstrated, which cannot only present its advancement in lightwave application, but also reveal its simplicity and convenience for the real implementation. Our proposed systems are suitable for the lightwave communication systems in wired and wireless transmissions.
