Abstract

For the generation of the maximum number of tones with a high tone to noise ratio (TNR) and the lowest amplitude difference (AD), different optical multi carrier-generation (OMCG) configurations are investigated in presented work by incorporating amplitude modulators (AM), dual drive Mach-Zehnder modulators (DD-MZM), and phase modulators (PM). Three modulators are employed in each OMCG, and a total of twelve different arrangements are investigated, such as (i) AM-DD-MZM1,2, (ii) AM-DD-MZM-AM, (iii) PM-DD-MZM1,2, (iv) PM-DD-MZM-PM, (v) AM-DD-MZM-PM, (vi) PM-DD-MZMAM in serial and (i) AM||DD-MZM1,2, (ii) AM||DD-MZM||AM, (iii) PM||DD-MZM1,2, (iv) PM||DD-MZM||PM, (v) AM||DDMZM||PM, and (vi) PM||DD-MZM||AM in parallel. A single RF source is deployed in all the OMCG configurations, and no other fiber Bragg gratings (FBGs) or tailored methods are incorporated. Further, an asymmetrical ultra-dense high-capacity 70 km bi-directional Radio over fiber (RoF) system is presented by incorporating the proposed OMCG and transmitter diversity supporting 10 GHz RF signal.
