  • Abstract
    High-speed 1.3 μm MQW electroabsorption waveguide modulators have been developed for high-fidelity transmission of microwaves via fibre optic links. Their high-frequency performance was characterised for a test link without any form of amplification. An RF-to-RF link efficiency of -32 dB, noise figure of 33 dB, and suboctave spurious-free dynamic range of 105 dB.Hz2/3 have been achieved
