Abstract :
We proposed and experimentally demonstrated a novel scheme to generate an optical millimeter-wave and realized wavelength reuse for uplink connection in a radio-over-fiber system. We employed an optical interleaver to separate the spectrum of the double-sideband signals generated by a single-arm intensity external modulator. The separated first-order sideband modes were used to generate optical millimeter-wave with double RF frequency, while the separated optical carrier was reused for uplink connection
