Abstract :
The low-loss, wide bandwidth capability of optical fibre transmission systems makes them attractive for the distribution and processing of microwave signals. This paper will review the technology required for generating, transmitting and detecting microwave modulated optical signals and will describe typical systems applications. Future prospects for this developing research field will also be considered.
