Abstract
In this paper, we propose and experimentally verify a phase-modulated radio-over-fiber (RoF) link capable of transmitting the radio frequency (RF) signal linearly. By executing the Kramers–Kronig (KK) algorithm at the receiver, the proposed link can accomplish linear optical phase demodulation with a single photodetector rather than a coherent receiver. In the 16-quadrature amplitude modulation (16-QAM) and 64-QAM microwave vector signal transmission experiments, measured error vector magnitudes (EVMs) are 4.14% and 4.38%, respectively, after 25-km fiber transmission, and the measured spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) is 114.5 dB·Hz2/3, which shows a good performance in linearity.
