Abstract
A communications device may include a local device, a remote device, and a multi-mode optical fiber coupled between the local device and the remote device. The local device may include a local spatial optical mux/demux coupled to the multi-mode optical fiber and having first and second local optical outputs and first and second local optical inputs, and a local electro-optic E/O modulator coupled to the second local optical input. The remote device may include a remote spatial optical mux/demux coupled to the multi-mode optical fiber, and a remote E/O modulator configured to generate a modulated signal onto a first remote optical output based upon modulating the first optical carrier signal from a first remote optical input responsive to a radio frequency (RF) electrical input signal.
