  • Abstract
    A 1.3-μm 1.1-km-long single-mode fiber-optic link with a 4.1-4.7 GHz frequency response has been developed. This is one of the highest freqUency fiber-optic links reported to date. A 60-dB SNR, ±1.0-dB gain flatness, and 44-dB spur-free dynamic range was observed. The performance of this link is primarily determined by the direct-modulated laser transmitter. This paper discusses the design of that component along with the development and performance of the complete fiber-optic link.
