Abstract

We demonstrate radio-over-fiber (RoF) transmission with a 10-W feed power-over-fiber (PWoF) using a conventional multimode fiber (MMF). In this scheme, the modal dispersion and feed light crosstalk in the MMF are effectively mitigated by the combination of center-launching (CL) and offset-launching (OL) techniques. The CL is used for propagating the feed light into lower-order modes in the MMF, while the OL is used not only for propagating the optical data signals into higher-order modes in the MMF, but also for mitigating the modal dispersion. We successfully achieved significant improvement in the RoF transmission performance with the 10-W feed PWoF and extended the link length up to 4km, owing to the two techniques.
