Abstract
Summary form only given. We demonstrate a new technique to map analog RF subcarrier frequencies to precisely controlled ranges of optical wavelength. Our experimental system uses a single semiconductor MQW laser diode and optical feedback from multiple Bragg gratings embedded in a single fiber. By changing RF carrier frequency our system automatically selects optical carrier wavelength for optical communication systems.
