Abstract

A hybrid multiplexing scheme with the capability to multiplex optical millimeter-wave, baseband, and intermediate frequency signals is proposed and demonstrated. The proposed scheme enables the convergence of "last mile" wireless and wireline technologies, leading to an integrated dense wavelength-division multiplexed network in the access and metro domain
