ABSTRACT

In this letter, we present the generation, the balanced detection, and the transmission performance evaluation of dual polarization differential quadrature phase shift keying (DP-DQPSK) signals in optical access system integrated with fiber and free-space downlink. Polarization-multip- lexed (POLMUX) technique is introduced in the system for high spectral efficiency access utilization. 10 Gb/s DP-DQPSK downlink signals are successfully transmitted over 50 km SMF-28 and a 800 m wireless optical channel under the bad weather condition, such as fog and haze. The results show that the potentiality of DP-DQPSK optical access system is integrated with fiber and free- space downlink for providing flexible user access with high bandwidth efficiency.
