Abstract
It is theoretically demonstrated that the FM light output of a semiconductor laser can be detected through FM-AM conversion using an optical fiber. The analysis is made in the case of narrow-band FM and for the fundamental mode in a step-index monomode fiber. It is shown that for a 10 GHz modulation frequency, the fiber length necessary to achieve maximum demodulation lies in the range of 10 km.
