Integrated platform of millimeter-wave radio-over-fiber and baseband services in a reconfigurable ring/bus access network using wavelength interleaving and polarization multiplexing

A novel polarization demultiplexing for wavelength-interleaved 1.25-Gb/s baseband signals and 155-Mb/s 60-GHz radio-over-fiber signals, combined with tunable filtering for access to consecutive remote access nodes in a ring/bus network are experimentally demonstrated.
