Inhalt:
We experimentally study the coexistence of heterogeneous Analog Radio-over-fiber and Digital Coherent Optical signals transparently across a converged metro/PON network. Our simplified setup, based on RF generation by optical heterodyning, enables transmission of 5.8 Gb/s mmWave signals and 400Gb/s coherent optical, within the original ROADM channel bandwidth.
