We propose a novel all optical up-conversion direct detection OFDM multi-level system. Utilizing an external modulator, we can up-converse vector signals without electrical mixer based on single side band with carrier suppression. In order to generate 60GHz signals without expensive high-speed components, we using frequency quadrupling modulation technique. A record 28-Gb/s 16-QAM OFDM system within 7-GHz license-free band at 60 GHz employing all-optical up-conversion with frequency quintupling is experimentally demonstrated. Negligible penalty is observed following 100-km SMF transmission without any dispersion compensation. Besides, we also discuss imbalance effects and do compensation to improve signal quality. The imbalance factors include amplitude mismatch, conjugate misalignment and un-synchronization. Utilizing Gram-Schmidt Orthogonal procedure can successfully solve these problems. Finally, we also do some discussion on phase noise. It affects high data rate signals seriously.
