• Abstract : We propose to use a supercontinuum (SC) for a low phase-noise multi-wavelength light source in wavelength-divison-multiplexed (WDM) millimeter-wave-band radio-on-fiber (RoF) systems. We demonstrate the generation of low phase-noise 60-GHz-band RoF signal. We also demonstrate the generation of 2-channel WDM 60-GHz-band RoF signals and the transmission of the signals over 25-km standard SMF using photonic up-conversion. The single multi-wavelength light source can be shared with s number of users and simplifies the system configuration, which would allow to realize high-reliability as well as low-cost RoF systems. Finally, the RoF network capacity with single SC light source is estimated to be over 10,000 channels when the spectrum of the SC light source is fully utilized.
• Key words : Supercontinuum (SC) light source, wavelength division multiplexing (WDM), radio-on-fiber (RoF), photonic up-conversion.
