Abstract

The integrated transmission is reported of a 622-Mb/s (SONET STS-12 rate) data signal with three frequency-modulated (FM) component HDTV (high-definition television) signals over 2 km of single-mode fiber. At -10 dBm received optical power a bit error rate less than 10/sup -9/ was measured on the data channel while, simultaneously, the unweighted signal/noise ratio was over 38 dB for the HDTV signals. Furthermore, in principle, an overlay architecture is demonstrated where compatibility is maintained between a subcarrier multiplexed system for video distribution and a B-ISDN (integrated services digital network) lightwave transmission facility.<>
