Abstract
We have experimentally compared the performances of optical millimeter-wave generation or up-conversion using external modulators based on different modulation schemes. The generated or up-converted optical millimeter wave using the optical carrier suppression (OCS) modulation scheme shows the highest receiver sensitivity, highest spectral efficiency, and smallest power penalty over long-distance delivery. Moreover, the OCS modulation scheme has a simple configuration and low-frequency bandwidth requirement for both electrical and optical components. Employing an OCS modulation scheme, 16-channel dense wavelength-division multiplexing signals at 2.5-Gb/s per channel have been up-converted to a 40-GHz carrier simultaneously.
