Abstract

A directly modulated laser diode with external light injection is used to generate microwave optical signals for a hybrid radio/fiber system. The external light injection greatly enhances the frequency response of the laser, and thus, significantly improves the overall performance of the hybrid system. Experimental results show a 14-dB improvement in system performance for the externally injected laser in a hybrid radio/fiber communication link used for distributing 155-Mb/s data signals
