Z. Ahmed et al., OPTICALLY-FED MILLIMETER-WAVE (37 GHZ) TRANSMISSION-SYSTEM INCORPORATING A HYBRID MODE-LOCKED SEMICONDUCTOR-LASER, Electronics Letters, 32(19), 1996, pp. 1790-1792
The authors demonstrate, for the first time, millimetre-wave transmiss
ion systems incorporating a hybrid mode-locked semiconductor laser tha
t ara suitable for optically-fed wireless communication systems. Error
free transmission at data rates up to 500Mbit/s at 37GHz over a wirel
ess distance of lm is demonstrated. In addition, the system is capable
of delivering up to 200Mbit/s of BPSK modulated millimetre-wave signa
ls over 10km of standard optical fibre.
