Abstract

We introduce a novel application of all-optical half-wave rectification in the transportation and delivery of multi-frequency radio-over fiber signals. System evaluation was performed of transmission over various optical fiber types and all-optical envelope detection was implemented to achieve error-free frequency down-conversion of ASK signals modulated on 10GHz, 16GHz and 40GHz carriers. Transmission power penalty of less than 1.5dB was observed after 25km SMF and 80km NZDSF.
