Abstract
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a real-time fiber-THz-fiber 2 × 2 multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) seamless integration system at 340–510 GHz using commercial digital coherent optics (DCO) modules for baseband signals processing, which realizes a record net rate of 103.125 Gb/s dual polarization quadrature-phase-shift-keying (DP-QPSK) signals delivery over two spans of 20 km wireline single-mode fiber-link and 3 m wireless 2 × 2 MIMO link without using THz power amplifier under 15% soft-decision forward-error-correction threshold (SD-FEC) of 1.56 × 10 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">−2</sup> . Two kinds of THz-to-optical conversion schemes based on an integrated dual-polarization Mach-Zehnder modulator (DP-MZM) and two discrete intensity-modulators (IMs) are extensively investigated and compared. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first real-time demonstration of THz-wireless and 100 GbE fiber-optic networks seamless integration transmission, which is compatible with IEEE 802.3 and ITU-T G.798 specifications. It is a promising scheme to meet the demands of future fiber-wireless-integrations communication for low power consumption, low cost and miniaturization.
