Abstract

An electrically and optically optimized 18.5 to 19.0 GHz short-haul fiber optic (F.O.) link is presented. A theoretical link analysis of gain, system noise contributions, linearity, and dynamic range is shown as well as the corresponding measurements. Results indicate that by employing reactive matching and on-fiber lensing techniques, performance of high-speed F.O. links are still limited by high relative intensity noise levels and the limited frequency response of the laser. Alternative architectures are suggested to counteract these limiting problems of current high speed links.
