Abstract :
High-purity 60-GHz signals, generated using a dual-mode DFB semiconductor laser, have been transmitted over 100 km of standard optical fiber with no observable degradation in purity. This device is shown to be a simple and compact optical source of high-purity 60-GHz signals for long-reach fiber-fed millimeter-wave radio systems.
