Tk. Woodward et al., 1-Gb/s BPSK transmission at 850 nm over 1 km of 62.5-mu m-core multimode fiber using a single 2.5-GHz subcarrier, IEEE PHOTON, 11(3), 1999, pp. 382-384
We report the first single-channel subcarrier-based optical transmission of
1-Gb/s data over 1 km of standard 62.5-mu m-core graded-index multimode fi
ber. We employ a 2.5-GHz subcarrier modulated by binary phase-shift keying
(BFSK), The BPSK-encoded subcarrier directly modulates a proton-implanted 8
50-nm vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser biased to 12 mil, Three differ
ent l-km fiber links are demonstrated. Transmission penalties range between
6.6-12 dB. We present bit-error-rate data, eye patterns, and RF spectra.
