Integrated four-channel directly modulated O-band optical transceiver for radio over fiber application
Abstract:
We have fabricated a compact and integrated 4-channel analog optical transceiver for radio over fiber application. In the fabricated module, the transmitter optical sub-assembly is composed of four directly modulated DFB laser chips integrated with an optical multiplexer based on an arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) using silica-based planar lightwave circuit (PLC) technology. The receiver optical sub-assembly consists of a PIN photodiode array integrated with an AWG-PLC-type optical de-multiplexer. For all the lanes, the 3 dB bandwidth exceeds 19.1 GHz and the measured spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is up to 90.5 dB⋅Hz2/3 when the input RF frequency is from 2 GHz to 14 GHz. Meanwhile, the electrical inter-channel crosstalk of the transceiver is less than -20 dB when the carry frequency is below 18.5 GHz. This module shows a great transmission performance in radio over fiber system. Under simultaneous 4-channel different 600 Mb/s 5-band 64QAM-OFDM RF signal operation, the measured error vector magnitude (EVM) performance below 8% is achieved after 15.5 km single-mode fiber propagation for all lanes. This scheme has potential applications in guiding high-dense, cost-effective and high-linearity analog optical transceiver design to realize high-capacity radio over fiber transmission systems.
