A hybrid wavelength-division-multiplexing (WDM) lightwave transport system for millimeter-wave (MMW)/microwave (MW)/baseband (BB) signals that are transmission based on fiber-wireless and fiber-visible laser light communication (VLLC) convergences is proposed and demonstrated. A broadband light source with an optical signal-to-noise ratio enhancement scheme in a hybrid lightwave transport system is employed. Light is optically promoted from a 5-Gbps/15-GHz RF data signal to 5-Gbps/60-GHz MMW and 5-Gbps/30-GHz MW data signals in fiber-wireless convergence. Light is also optically demoted from a 5-Gbps/15-GHz RF data signal to a 5-Gbps data stream in fiber-VLLC convergence. Over a 40-km single-mode fiber and a 4-m RF wireless/a 10-m free-space VLLC transmission, bit error rate performs impressively for 60-GHz MMW, 30-GHz MW, and 5-Gbps BB signal transmission. Such a hybrid WDM lightwave transport system could have practical applications for fiber-wireless and fiber-VLLC convergences to provide broadband integrated services.
