RADIO FREQUENCY SUBCARRIER, DIRECT DETECTION, INTENSITY MODULATION, LASER COMMUNICATION SYSTEMS,
Abstract
Information transmission on a radio frequency subcarrier over an intensity modulated optical carrier, rather than direct intensity modulation of the carrier, offers some implementation advantages, immunity to certain types of noise, and a convenient information multiplexing capability. However, there is a penalty paid in reduced signal-to-noise ratio and an increased probability of detection error. (Author)
