A passive optical network (PON) fiber access system with two types of high spectral efficiency orthogonal frequency division multiple access (OFDMA) downlink signals is designed and demonstrated. In this scheme, 50Gbit/s 16/32 quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) -OFDMA-PON downstream signals are transmitted over 20 km single-mode fiber (SMF) and detected using self mixing detection method, in which 256 subcarriers are divided into four sub-channels for multiple users access applications. The electrical frequency spectrums, optical spectrums, constellation diagrams, and bit error rate (BER) performance of the downstream signals are analyzed. The results show that under different received optical powers, we can select a certain sub-channel with the lowest BER, and the system also supports the dynamic selection of the appropriate signals type between 16QAM-OFDM and 32QAM-OFDM according to different users bandwidth requirements.
In this paper, a novel full duplex Radio Frequency Passive Optical Network (RPON) system by using 8-ary pulse amplitude modulation (8-PAM) downlink and duobinary (DB) uplink signals is designed. We measure optical spectrum diagrams, eye diagrams, bit error rate (BER), and analyze the reception performance of the 10Gbit/s system before and after transmission. Results show that the downlink 8-PAM and uplink DB signals can improve bandwidth efficiency. Hence, the scheme is expected to be applied in the future high-speed full duplex access system.

Different launching methods over multimode fiber (MMF) are reviewed and compared under various aspects such as coupling coefficient, mode power distribution, and bit error rate performance. Among these, center launch and ring launch are elaborated and chosen as the inputs of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) scheme for center launch exciting limited lower-order modes while ring launch exciting limited higher ones. Furthermore, we discuss the theoretical background and give a new wide-band MMF MIMO mathematical model. This paper also proposes a novel MMF MIMO system combining the dual restricted launches together with multi-segments receiving. The simulated results indicate that an aggregate data rate of 20 Gb/s over 800-m graded index-multimode fiber can be achieved by using this newly established MIMO scheme.

This paper has proposed a radio-over-fiber (RoF) link carrying two 10Gb/s 16-QAM mm- wave signal streams. Since
the dual-tone 40GHz optical mm-wave are generated by frequency quadrupling via a LiNbO3 modulator and the two
QAM signal streams are modulated on each tone by single sideband (SSB) modulation, the frequency requirements of
the RF local oscillators and the optical modulators are reduced to 10GHz, which means a cost-effective RoF implement.
Since the mm-wave signals in the photocurrent are generated by beating in a SSB pattern, the optical mm-wave signal
has great tolerance to the fiber dispersion. Moreover, one optical mm-wave carrier carries two16-QAM 10Gb/s data
streams, our link scheme has a higher bandwidth efficiency. The simulation results show that both the constellation
diagrams and the eye diagrams of the two different QAM streams are well accepted even after 60 km fiber transmission.
The method of coherent detection utilize image rejection in the receiver to obtain better performance in demodulation of
FSK downstream. We implement it in passive optical network and adopt re-modulation which modulalte ASK signal
directly on FSK signal as upstream. The possibility of extending the system to WDM-PON condition is also discussed.
By image rejection receiver, we get obvious performance improvement featuring BER. When in long haul situation,
compared with band-pass filter, the image rejection receiver greatly improve the BER. Several detailed parameters in the
receiver are varied in certain range to indicate their effect on the system performance. Results show that the image
rejection receiver we propose is suitable for access network, especially for long-distance access network.

A novel and flexible bandwidth scheduling scheme based on three dimensional divisions multiplexing of
MSK-OFDM for both downstream and upstream data in WDM-PON is proposed and experimentally
demonstrated with good performances at 2.5Gbit/s by 5 sidebands.
For the first time, we propose and demonstrate a novel three-level Signal allocation scheme OFDM PON architecture
which makes the best use of OFDM characteristics. In the architecture, we produce five-carrier signal optically by MZM,
use odd carriers modulating downlink data and retain even carriers for uplink data. Multiple signal distribution methods
can be switched flexibly. By simulation, a small PON systems with four ONU based on this architecture was realized.
Both the downlink and uplink transmission adopt 4-QAM-OFDM signal. The transmission rate will be demonstrated to
exceed 10Gbit/s.

Optical minimum-shift keying (MSK) format has constant envelope and continuous temporal phase shift, and exhibits a
promising application for its high compact spectrum. Coherent detections have been proved to be effectively for the
significant improvement of receiver sensitivity. In this paper, a heterodyne detection scheme to demodulate 40Gb/s
MSK signal is proposed, and simulation analysis is given to the receiver sensitivity, the laser line-width and frequency
offset. Comparison is drawn between the presented heterodyne detection and homodyne detection, and investigation is
made on the performance of the receiver in different schemes.
We propose algorithm to compensate frequency offset in optical coherent MSK system with little computation
requirement. Simulations are performed to demonstrate the algorithm and its performance is excellent.

We propose and simulate a single-side band (SSB) Radio-over-Fiber ( RoF ) system based on OFDM-MSK
modulation. In-phase/quadrature-phase (IQ) imbalance effect can significantly degrade the system performance. In
order to obtain a better system performance, at the transmitter, the phase departure tolerance should be within 1 degree
and the amplitude departure tolerance should be within 5% in the electrical domain, the phase departure tolerance should
be within 10 degrees and the amplitude departure tolerance should be within 40% in the optical domain, the departure
tolerance of splitting ratio should be within ±12%, and at the same time, time misalignment should be within ±32ps. At
the receiver, the phase departure tolerance should be within 2 degrees and the amplitude departure tolerance should be
within 10%. Furthermore, it's further found that the electrical part of the transmitter presents a stricter requirement on the
IQ balance than the receiver, while the receiver presents a stricter requirement on the IQ balance than the optical part of
the transmitter.
Recently, as the continual development of services and needs, people have a higher expectation on the optical
communication system especially the passive optical network (PON). Deciding which kind of fiber to be the optimal
media for PON is becoming a critical problem. This paper analyzed the feasibility for the applying of multimode fiber
(MMF) in the future long haul, high bit-rate, and large capacity PON, and summarized the strengths and weakness of
MMF. Then, initiating from the waveguide theory in the weakly guiding fiber and neglecting the intra-modal dispersion
as well as nonlinearity, we built a simple model for multimode fiber, based on which we made analysis, research and
comparison through simulation experiments on some performance improving techniques of MMF: offset launching,
mode size changing, ring launching and feedback equalization. The simulation results demonstrated that the combination
of field shaping and feedback equalization can obviously improve the transmission properties of MMF, because of
which, the 10Gbit/s data can travel in the MMF for more than 1km.
Two novel optical phase modulation formats, the staggered differential phase-shift keying
(SDPSK) with return-to-zero (RZ) and carrier-suppressed
return-to-zero (CSRZ) shape, are proposed and
compared by numerical simulation for 100 Gbit/s medium-range transmission. RZ-SDPSK and
CSRZ-SDPSK signals are generated by cascading two phase modulators and a dual-arm Mach-Zehnder
modulator. The demodulation of two phase formats can be achieved on 1 bit rate through only one
Mach-Zehnder delay interferometer and a balanced receiver. The transmission performance of the extracted
RZ and CSRZ clock signals are compared.
In this paper, a dual-stage optical single sideband (DSSB) modulation scheme to combat chromatic dispersion for the
terahertz wave over fiber (ToF) systems application is proposed. In the scheme, terahertz(THz) wave is obtained via
carrier-suppression double sideband modulation, one sideband of terahertz wave then undergo the first single sideband
modulation and the second base band SSB modulation in the process of data modulation, which achieves cascade single
sideband (SSB) modulation. As can been seen from the simulation result, for mid-frequency carrier of 0.1THz, the BER
performance without dispersion compensation achieves 1x10-11 and the sensitivity of the receiver is -26.6dBm with a
data rate of 5Gb/s after 100km transmission. Through comparing the power penalty of double side band (DSB) and
DSSB, we demonstrated the optical DSSB modulation has better dispersion tolerance. This paper also shows the
contrastive curves of frequency selective fading for the SSB and DSB modulated signals, which definitely demonstrates
the existence of dispersion fading during the DSB transmission as well as the effective suppression of the fading
implemented by the SSB modulation. The novel scheme's preference is excelled than the conventional scheme's, which
is demonstrated by these theory and simulation.
We propose and experimentally demonstrate a novel architecture for OFDM-PON system. The down link is based on
single side band OFDM modulation while the up link makes use of the carrier information retained in another side band
to intensity modulate the data. The downstream transmission will be demonstrated experimentally to exceed 10Gb/s
using 4-QAM while the upstream transmission will exceed 2.5-Gb/s using ASK modulation and Time Division Multiple
Access (TDMA). This architecture can perfectly overcome the Rayleigh scattering effect. It has been proved the
transmission for both directions can reach 10km without bit error. And if the scattering effect is considered, the power
penalty will be less than 0.8dB for downlink and 1.8dB for uplink.

In this paper, a novel and simple all-optical scheme for generating UWB monocycle pulses based on the nonlinear
polarization rotation in an SOA is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. UWB spectrum generated from 20Gb/s
RZ signal has a centre frequency at about 5.0 GHz and a -10 dB bandwidth of about 10 GHz with a fractional bandwidth
close to 200% which is wide enough for UWB communication. The UWB signals have been transmitted in a 100km
SMF transmission link. The quality of UWB signal deteriorates with the increase in delay time between RZ and dark RZ,
while the attenuation increase for RZ needs a consideration trade-off between restraint for CW and stationarity of UWB
signal.
A WDM PON(wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network) structure using 40Gb/s FSK signal for
downstream transmission and 10Gb/s orthogonal FSK/ASK re-modulated signal for upstream transmission is
demonstrated. In the downstream direction, a novel FSK modulation scheme based on phase-to-intensity
modulation conversion is adopted to generate a FSK signal at 40Gb/s, while orthogonal modulation format is used
in the upstream transmission. The performance of the system is studied both with and without scattering. Simulation
results show that the PON system can transmit for more than 20km, which is a promising candidate for future highspeed
access network.
Optical label switching (OLS) has been regarded as an efficient technique to route and forward IP packets transparently
in the optical layer. In label switching system, orthogonal modulation has shown some advantages, such as its high
spectral efficiency. One example is the combination of amplitude-shift-keying (ASK) label and differential phase-shift-keying
(DPSK) payload. However, differential quadrature phase-shift-keying (DQPSK) payload has not been used in
optical label switching system yet. In this letter, we propose and demonstrate a novel optical label switching scheme by
the combination modified return zero (MD-RZ) and DQPSK for the first time. The transmitter is set up by cascading two
phase modulators (PM) and one dual-arm LiNbO3 modulator (LN-MOD). The signal is first phase modulated by two
PMs. The MD-RZ label is then impressed by the subsequent LN-MOD. Duty cycle and extinction ratio of the MD-RZ
labels are tunable. The DQPSK payload can be used in a 20Gbit/s optical label switching system, with 2-bit per symbol
modulation/demodulation. Within the network, the label information is read, processed and updated, a process known as
label switching, until the burst reaches the desired egress edge node. The use of balanced detection is expected to
improve performance for the payload. The transmission performance of 20Gbit/s DQPSK payload with 2.5Gb/s MD-RZ-ASK
label is also analysed. MD-RZ labeling of a DQPSK payload has been shown to be a promising candidate for the
implementation of OLS system.
We propose a novel scheme to generate duobinary RZ and dark RZ signals. It needs only one differential Mach-Zehnder
modulator (DMZM), which can adjust the operating point of the modulator to generate duobinary RZ and dark RZ
signals easily. It is more cost-effective compared to conventional schemes due to its simple configuration.
A configuration of transmitter for superimposing DPSK signals on dark RZ signals with tunable duty
cycle was proposed. The transmitter comprises two optical phase modulators and a delayed line Mach-Zehnder
interferometer. The simulation results show that the spectral efficiency is doubled by using this scheme.
