Abstract

This Letter proposes a low-cost Optical Frequency Multiplication (OFM) scheme based on dual drive Mach-Zehnder Modulator (DD-MZM) to generate 40-GHz millimeter-Wave (mmW) signals and 32Gbps 64QAM-OFDM signal at the center frequency of 35GHz occupying 5.6GHz bandwidth applied to Radio-over-Fiber (RoF) system. The optimal driving power of Intensity Modulator (IM) is also discovered to achieve the smallest EVM (Error Vector Magnitude) for the RoF system.
