Abstract :
. In this work a PON/mm-wave converged topology using single mode fiber (SMF) to multimode fiber (MMF) feeds is addressed supporting 60GHz indoor wireless access, standard PON, and a 60GHz wireless bridge providing a virtual PON extension. Proof-of-concept experiments are performed using a 1.2Gb/s OOK (NRZ) transmission over SMF-MMF-SMF link without or including 60GHz photonic up-conversion to be used on a wireless link (PON bridge) and fiber post transmission, or a 5Gb/s at 60GHz carrier MB-OFDM transmission over SMF-MMF-SMF link co-existing with 1.2Gb/s OOK (NRZ) signal.
