Abstract

We propose and experimentally demonstrate a hybrid CATV/16-QAM-Digital CATV/16-QAM-OFDM in-building network over a 40-km single-mode fiber and graded index-plastic optical fiber/10-m visible light communication. The application of external injection technology with the addition of an optoelectronic feedback that raises the resonance frequency of the laser diode results in increased system transmission capability. Good performances of carrier-to-noise ratio, composite second-order, and composite triple-beat are obtained for the CATV signal. A low bit-error-rate value is achieved for the 16-QAM-Digital CATV/16-QAM-OFDM signal.
