Abstract

A simultaneous modulation and fiber-optic transmission of a 10-Gb/s baseband signal and a 60-GHz RF signal with 155-Mb/s differential-phase-shift-keying (DPSK) data on a single wavelength is investigated. To the authors' knowledge, it is experimentally demonstrated for the first time that both a 10-Gb/s on-off-keying baseband signal and a 60-GHz RF signal with 155-Mb/s DPSK data are simultaneously modulated with a single optical modulator and transmitted over 40-km-long dispersion-shifted fiber (DSF). There exists the received optical power capable of achieving a bit error rate of 10/sup -9/ simultaneously for both the RF and baseband signals. The degradations due to the nonlinearity of the electroabsorption modulator for the baseband and RF signals are also investigated theoretically and clarified numerically.
