Abstract

Large-signal modulation of laser diodes generates harmonics which can be exploited to distribute millimeter wave reference signals via fiberoptic links. Experimental results of a large-signal modulation of a laser diode with optical feedback are presented, where the external cavity increases the optical intensity modulation depth. Period doubling has also been observed.
