  • Abstract
    A highly linear optical microwave link transmitter based on heterodyne phase-locked DFB lasers is presented. The transmitter is transparent for FM and PM input signals with carrier frequencies ranging from 3-18 GHz. Distortion-free transmission of a 7.6 GHz FM PAL video signal over 25 km of optical fibre is demonstrated.<>
