Linewidth-Insensitive Coherent Analog Optical Links.

Abstract

This program has analyzed the performance of four classes of links as quantified by spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR), RF power transfer ratio and noise figure, and compared them to conventional detection links. The four classes analyzed were coherent links, optically amplified links, angle modulated links, and combinations of these. Experimental validation of the analysis was accomplished at 2 GHz and is described. The linewidth-insensitive operation in all cases using both semiconductor laser and solid-state Nd:YAG lasers has been demonstrated. (AN)
