Abstract :
A dual-mode self-pulsating laser is presented as a transmitter source for millimeter wave generation in an experimental hybrid fiber radio system. The performance is evaluated by bit-error rate measurements in the 40-GHz-frequency range including a radio link and a fiber based transmission with lengths up to 60 km.
