Analog Data Transmission via Fiber Optics

High-Fidelity Analog Fiber Optics and Photonics for Military Applications

Introduction: Radio-frequency (RF) photonics provides increased or previously unavailable capabilities for many military platforms and applications. As compared to electronic approaches, photonics offers increased transmission distances in antenna-remoting applications, unrivaled bandwidth in signal-processing and other electromagnetic-warfare applications, and decreased size and weight in nume...

Analog Fiber Optics: Pragmatic Considerations beyond the Textbook

This report discusses the use of AlGaAs lasers and LEDs as optical sources for a multimode fiber-optic link that uses analog modulation. It is well known that the limited linearity of these sources makes digital modulation a preferable method to send information. However, many factors determine how a portion of an information transfer system is constructed or retrofitted including previous inve...
