Abstract :
Summary form only given. High quality data transmission at Mb/s data rates over an RF-optical-link using a new microdisk optical modulator has been demonstrated. The modulator is able to efficiently modulate an optical carrier (/spl lambda/ = 1550 nm) by a data modulated RF carrier (f = 7.6 GHz).
