Fiber Optic Delay Line (250 kHz - 250 MHz).

Abstract

Three stabilized semiconductor laser transmitters, one photodiode-amplifier module, and one 475-m section of optical fiber were packaged for application in a fiber-optic delay line. The design and performance of the transmitter and receiver are presented over a bandwidth of 50 kHz to 350 MHz. The entire system, consisting of a transmitter-fiber-receiver, displays a dynamic range of 30 dB or better and a pulse delay of 2.2 microseconds. The system is flat to + or - 1 dB across the entire band. (Author)
