Abstract

We have developed a 100-GHz fiber-fed optical-To-radio converter for radio-And power-over-fiber transmission. A zero-bias operational high-speed photodetector (3-dB bandwidth >100 GHz) could be applied for the optical-To-radio converter, taking significant advantage of no-bias feed 100-GHz operation. We have successfully demonstrated simultaneous radio and power generation from one device through a bias-T circuit. A 100-GHz pseudomorphic high electron mobility transistor amplifier allowed a hybrid integrated photoreceiver to enhance the O/E conversion gain. Using the generated electric power, a gate bias in the 100-GHz amplifier was driven. The performance of each device and the integrated photoreceiver is described. High data rate photonic wireless transmission based on photonic power supply without external electric power supply is demonstrated.
