Abstract

A novel scheme to simultaneously provide UWB, 60-GHz millimeter-wave (mmW), and baseband services over a wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) passive optical network (PON) is proposed and demonstrated. In the proposed system, an OOK Gaussian pulse signal is modulated on the optical carrier and then converted to an OOK UWB impulse signal at an edge filter, a baseband signal and a 30-GHz signal are then modulated on the same optical carrier. By employing polarization multiplex technique, the UWB and baseband signal will have orthogonal polarization directions and the spectrum interference between the two signals is avoided. By suppressing the optical carrier, a frequencydoubled mmW signal at 60 GHz is generated by beating the two 1st order sidebands at a photodetector (PD). Error-free transmission of a UWB signal at 2.5 Gbps and a wired baseband signal at 2.5 and 5 Gbps over a 25-km single-mode fiber (SMF) is achieved. A frequency-doubled mmW signal at 60 GHz is also obtained.
