Novel enabling technologies for convergence of optical and wireless access networks

Abstract

Advanced enabling technologies for optical wireless integration are discussed. These enabling technologies include new schemes to generate low-cost optical millimeter-wave signal, ROF network configuration compatible with WDM-PON, and wavelength reuse. We will also report a test-bed for ROF network providing over 2.5Gbit/s bandwidth for transmission wireless and wired data and HTDV signals. © CLEO Pacific Rim 2007.
