We propose a configuration of a wavelength division multiplexing （WDM）-visible light communication （VLC） system using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing （OFDM） modulation and an adaptive Nyquist windowing of the OFDM signal in the receiver. Based on this configuration, we demonstrate a 750-Mb/s WDM-VLC transmission based on RGB light-emitting diode （LED） with a distance of 70 cm. The measured bit error rate （BER） for all channels are under the pre-forwaxd error correction limit of 3,8 × 10-3. The BER performances of all the channels of the proposed WDM-VLC system show considerable improvement compared with those of the system without Nvauist windowing.
We propose a novel scheme for optical frequency-locked multi-carrier generation based on a directly modu- lated laser （DML） and a phase modulator （PM） in cascade through synchronous sinusoidal radio frequency （RF） signal. The optimal operating zone for the cascaded DML and PM scheme is determined via theoreti- cal analysis and numerical simulation. We demonstrate 16 optical subcarriers can be successfully generated based on the cascaded DML and PM scheme in the optimal zone. The generated 16 optical subcarries have frequency spacing of 12.5 GHz and power difference of less than 3 dB. These results agree well with those of the numerical simulation. We also demonstrate intensity modulation and direct detection （IM-DD） based on one of the 16 generated optical subcarriers. After 20-km single-mode fiber-28 （SMF-28） transmission, the bit-error ratio （BER） of 1×10^-9 can be attained for both 3.125- and 12.5-Gb/s bit rates.
We experimentally demonstrate a 4-Gb/s radio-over-fiber （RoF） system with 40-kin fiber and 2-m wireless distance downstream at 100-GHz carrier. To the best of our knowledge, this is for the first time in China to realize optical wireless link at 100 GHz. In this letter, simple intensity modulator with direct detector （IM-DD） modulation is employed and optical power penalty afZer 40-kin single mode fiber （SMF）-28 and 2-m air link is 3.2 dB with bit-error-rate （BER） at 1 × 10- 9.
The generation of coherent optical subcarriers based on a concatenated dual-drive Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator （IM） and two phase modulators （PMs） is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The modulation index and DC bias of PM＋IM modulation are theoretically investigated. Theoretical analysis and numerical study are also carried out to examine the proposed scheme. We use 25-GHz RF synchronous sinusoidal signals to drive cascaded two-stage PMs and IM, through which we generate 28 subcaxriers with peak power fluctuations less than 4 dB. The measured tone-to-noise ratio of the subcarrier is higher than 40 dB. The experimental results show that for 100-Gb/s polarization multiplexing QPSK signal, the receiver sensitivity of the back-to-back signal is -28.6 dBm, and the power penalty is lower than 1 dB after 100-km transmission at the BER of 1 × 10-9.
