We experimentally incubate a ground-breaking design, for the first time, of concurrent electro-optical semiconductor optical amplifier Mach–Zehnder interferometer mixing (SOA-MZI) based on a differential transformation methodology. Projecting the simultaneous electro-optical mixing system and improving its efficiency and quality achievement in optical and electrical features is a crucial task due to the characteristics of an optical pulse source (OPS) operating with a repetition rate of f= 58.5 GHz and a pulse width duration of 1 picosecond (ps). The resultant of the contemporaneous electro-optical mixing exhibits exceptional passive power stability, reaching 0.8% RMS over a two-hour period. Furthermore, when the optical bandpass filter is controlled at the data wavelength of 1540 nm, we achieve up to 30 dBm of the overall mean output power with an optical conversion gain of 46 dB and an exceptionally high optical signal-to-noise ratio reaching 80 dB. Using orthogonal frequency division multiplexing (OFDM) signals, each data subcarrier is modulated using 128 quadratic amplitude modulation (128-QAM) at carrier frequencies fk and simultaneously up-mixed to high aim frequencies nf±fk at the SOA-MZI output. Additionally, the resulting OFDM_128-QAM up-mixed signal is examined using the specifications for the error vector magnitudes (EVMs) and the electrical conversion gains (ECGs). The SOA-MZI mixing experiment can handle high frequencies up to 120 GHz. Positive ECGs are followed by a sharp reduction over the entire band of the aim frequencies. The highest frequency range achieved during the realistic investigation is shown at 2f+f4= 120 GHz, where the EVM reaches 8% with a symbol rate of 15 GSymb/s. Furthermore, the concurrent OFDM_128-QAM up-mixed signal achieves an absolute maximum bit rate of 80.4 Gbit/s. The investigation into the simultaneous electro-optical mixing regime is finally supported by unmatched characterization improvements.
