Abstract :
In this paper, a scheme for optical millimeter-wave generation using a LiNb Mach-Zehnder Modulation is presented with the optical carrier suppression (OCS) approach. The simulation and experimental results demonstrate that a LiNb Mach-Zehnder modulator can generate a high-quality millimeter-wave signal. An experimental platform is built to introduce the principles of OCS elaborately. Simulation results illustrate that the data were successfully transmitted over 50-km standard single mode fiber for downstream channels with less than 1-dB power penalty. This system shows simple cost-efficient configuration and good performance over long-distance delivery.
