Abstract

Optical analog CATV systems using the AM-VSB format are introduced. By using a subcarrier, in the 1-2 GHz range, the CATV spectrum is upconverted to a low microwave region. This shifted spectrum AM modulates a semiconductor laser. The resulting optical signal is then introduced in an optical fiber. At the reception end occurs the detection and the down conversion. Advantages and critical points of this arrangement are discussed. A commercial laser diode is rigorously modeled and used for several system simulation situations. The role played by the microwave amplifier that drives the laser is discussed. It is shown that, over a single fiber, it is possible to reach the 100 channel capacity, in an economic way, while preserving the desired performance.
