Abstract :
A new approach is presented for extracting and transmitting RF power from a Quantum-dot Mode-locked laser that acts as a source for a microstrip antenna. An SMA interface to the laser was created, the output impedance of the laser was measured and matched to 50 ohms and the frequency spectrum of the microwave signal was acquired. Then, a wireless link with microstrip patch antennas was set up to transmit this power.
