Abstract

A novel all-optical frequency up-conversion method implementing microwave photonic filter in a radio-over-fiber (RoF) link is proposed and demonstrated. The electrooptical phase modulator, electrooptic intensity modulator in combination with 75-km single-mode fiber (SMF) is used to form the microwave photonic filter and fulfill the frequency upconversion function at the same time. The technique requires large modulation index at the phase modulator, which simultaneously increases the efficiency of the frequency conversion. The proposed approach has been demonstrated both theoretically and experimentally.
