Content preview from Optical Fiber Telecommunications VB, 5th Edition
Whilst the disadvantages of coherent transmission systems can all be overcome,
the penalty is a significant increase in system complexity relative to direct detec-
tion systems.
18.3 COMPONENTS FOR OPTICAL TRANSMISSION
OF MICROWAVE SIGNALS
In this section, the performance of the key components used in microwave-over-
fiber systems will be reviewed.
18.3.1 Optical Sources
The key performance parameters for sources used in intensity-modulated microwave-
over fiber-systems are
(i) Output wavelength
(ii) Output power
(iii) Intensi ty noise
(iv) Modulation response for directly modulated sources
and additionally for coherent systems
(v) Linewidth
(vi) Tunability
The main optical sources are fiber lasers, crystal and waveguide lasers, and
semiconductor lasers.
