• Integrated external modulator
• orthogonal frequency-division multiplexing (OFDM)
• optical millimeter wave generation
• radio over fiber (ROF)
• wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON)

We have experimentally demonstrated a novel transmission system for seamless integration of ROF with centralized lightwave OFDM-WDM-PON based on an integrated external modulator. At the one of two arms of the integrated external modulator, the optical carrier suppression (OCS) is realized to generate 40-GHz optical millimeter-wave (mm-wave) and up-converted baseband data signal as wireless signal. In another arm of the integrated external modulator, 16 quadrature amplitude modulation intensity-modulated OFDM signals at 10 Gbit/s are used for downstream transmission as wired signal based on double sideband modulation. By using one intensity modulator (IM), the downstream RF OFDM signal is remodulated for upstream on-off keying (OOK) data at 2.5 Gbit/s because of its downstream RZ shape waveform. The 10-Gbit/s wired signal, 2.5-Gbit/s wireless signal, and 2.5-Gbit/s upstream signal have been transmitted over 20-km single mode fiber (SMF) successfully.
