Fiber-optic PSK Subcarrier Transmission At 35 GHz Over 6.3 Km Using A Grating External Cavity Semiconductor Laser

Millimeter wave modulation of semiconductor lasers is of great interest for radar, communications, satellite links and electronic warfare systems. Applications include phased array radars, antenna remoting, and delay lines. Optical fiber technology offers many advantages such as high bandwidth, low loss, low weight, low dispersion, flexibility and immunity to EMI and lightning, and is an excellent replacement for a mmwave waveguide.
