High-Speed Optical and Millimeter-Wave Wireless Link for Disaster Recovery

A government-funded R and D program aiming at a resilient optical and millimeter-wave wireless link for a novel span protection scheme in a disaster recovery is presented. We also describe the key enabling technologies of both optical and wireless sub- systems and devices, including MIMO radio-over- fiber system, optical two-tone generation, and the transceiver and power amplifier in W-band.
