Abstract :
10-9 bit error rates have been achieved over a distance of 6.3 km in a millimetre wave fibre-optic phase shift keying subcarrier transmission system operating at 35 GHz for a 40 Mbit/s narrowband digital signal. Using a grating in the external cavity for wavelength control, the transmission distance was extended from 200 m to 6.3 km.
