Abstract :
We give a general analytical signal and noise model for a direct modulation fiber optic link that includes an optical component with gain or loss, and arbitrary lossless matching circuits at the input and output. The model equations reduce to previously published results under certain specific conditions. We describe experiments which verify various aspects of the developed model.<>
