Abstract
In almost every area of communications, the trend is to replace analog transmission with digital. At the same time, the demand for DFB lasers capable of meeting high dynamic range analog characteristics has grown dramatically. In this paper, this apparent contradiction will be examined and some of the many applications for which high dynamic range links are being used will be reviewed
