We propose and experimentally demonstrate a converged optical-wireless WDM access network architecture enabled by a highly integrated quantum dot coherent comb laser. The converged optical-wireless WDM network features simultaneous delivery of coherent and millimeter wave (mmWave) / citizens broadband radio service (CBRS) signals over 50-km and 20 km fiber links, respectively.
