Abstract :
Summary form only given. In conclusion, we have demonstrated efficient fiber-optic transport at mm-wave frequencies using an uncoated single contact DFB laser. These results indicate that simple, low-cost mm-wave optical transmitters can be constructed for fiber-fed antennas in mm-wave wireless picocellular networks and mm wave phased-array antenna systems.
