A Bidirectional Hybrid WDM-OFDM Network for Multiservice Communication Employing Self-Injection Locked Qdash Laser Source Based on Elimination of Rayleigh Backscattering Noise Technique

2021 
A scheme for transportation of information with minimum Rayleigh backscattering (RB) noise to the multi-users by employing Qdash laser diode as a source is designed and evaluated. In this paper, employing digital phase shift keying, millimeter wave, 16-quadrature amplitude modulation orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (16-QAM OFDM), and 32-QAM OFDM techniques, the data rates of 4 × 10 Gbps are transmitted simultaneously over 50 km single mode fiber, plus 15 m wireless link, 50 m free space optical (FSO) link, 10 m wireless respectively. Four selective self-injection locked modes of Qdash laser are utilized as optical carriers for downstream and upstream transmission. To ensure the matter of mitigation of RB noise, which mainly arises due to the transmission of light-wave of same wavelengths in bidirectional transportation, the carrier signals of different wavelength are used for modulation and remodulation in optical line terminal and optical network unit. Besides being a strong support to increase the tolerance level against RB noise, this architecture is capable to transmit less noisy information wirelessly in radio frequency sensitive areas too. The constancy of the proposed architecture is evaluated by very low power penalty (~ 1.5–1.7 dB, ~ 2.4–2.6 dB, ~ 1.4–1.6 dB, ~ 1.7–1.8 dB for four channels respectively), clear constellation, prominent eye opening, low bit-error-rate (< 10–9 for pseudo random bit sequence data stream and < 3.8 × 10–3 for OFDM signal) and low error vector magnitude (< 12.4% for 16 QAM, < 10% for 32 QAM). Therefore, the proposed architecture could be promising alternative not only due to the scheme for mitigation of RB noise but also be a potent in the field of applications of the communication world to provide less noisy information to the multi-users (wired/wireless/FSO).
