The present invention is an optical fiber system and method for carrying
both CATV and Ethernet signals. The digital signals are translated into
higher band by a direct up/down conversion so that analog signals and
digital signals are treated as different frequency bands of electrical
signals. Then, all the signals are mixed/divided by a power
combiner/divider. And then, by using optoelectronic devices, the signals
are processed with optoelectronic conversion. The converted optical
signals are transmitted in a fiber or a related optical channel having
low channel loss yet high capacity. To sum up, the present invention can
transmit digital signals together with analog signals in a single
wavelength to save the cost of an optical signal system and to provide a
convenience on rearranging the system.
