Abstract

Transmission of 155-Mb/s binary phase-shift-keying-modulated microwave/millimeter-wave (MMW) signal on an optical carrier over up to 80 km of standard single-mode fiber has been demonstrated experimentally using direct modulation of a two-section gain-coupled distributed feedback laser. Direct data modulation at an MMW carrier frequency of 25 GHz was enabled by on-chip optical injection locking.
