High-Efficiency, Single-Frequency Laser and Modulator Study

Abstract

The work described in this report is the final year's effort of a three-year program to study wide bandwidth laser communications at 1.06 micrometer wavelength. In addition, a study was also made of laser communication configurations that were suitable for very high data rates. The results of this quarter's work indicate that the combined 1-GHz FM analog and 1- Gbit/sec digital data transmission is feasible over a 1.06 micrometer laser link in the laboratory.
