Abstract

We demonstrate the fiber transmission of an IF signal at 60 GHz-band using a two-mode injection-locked Fabry-Perot slave laser for fiber radio systems. The IF signal can be generated by the CW modulation of the slave laser without using an optical intensity-modulator. We confirm the fast response of the modulated slave laser and a 77 dB dynamic range for signal modulation against third-order distortion. The IF signals power deviation caused by fiber dispersion is also investigated.
