Abstract :
Harmonic distortion generated by the Fabry-Perot resonator at fibre connectors is described. The maximum second-harmonic distortion is calculated as a function of end separation for GaAlAs lasers. A ¿42 dB second-harmonic distortion is generated in 100 ¿m end separation, which is harmful in analogue transmission systems.
