Abstract :
This work reports on an optical radiofrequency link based on a direct optical injection locking of a microwave oscillator. A free running oscillator at 2.4 GHz has been designed and realised employing a pseudomorphic GaAlAs/GaInAs/GaAs self-aligned Heterostructure Insulating Gate Field Effect Transistor (HIGFET). Data transmissions using digital modulation formats have been performed. All the measurements revealed the high quality of the transmission.
