Abstract
This paper presents an overview on new progresses of millimeter wave (mm-wave) radio-overfiber (RoF) system based on mm-wave generation by optical frequency multiplication (OFM), including generation of high-order optical side modes by optical modulation using dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and enhancement of high-order optical side mode induced by selective amplification due to stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). The paper describes OFM by using DD-MZM in principle and verifies it in an experimental bidirectional 40 GHz RoF system. SBS amplification enhances the generated information-bearing mm-wave in downlink and also helps in producing a pure reference mm-wave for radio frequency-intermediate frequency (RF-IF) down-conversion in uplink. These efforts pushed the OFM technology of mm-RoF systems to achieve more and more feasibility and cost-effectiveness.
