We present the theoretical analysis and the experimental implementation of a narrowband millimeter wave optical fiber communication system using an external cavity semiconductor laser. We derive analytic expressions and present experimental data for the modulation response, relative intensity noise, carrier-to-noise ratio, and harmonic distortion for a semiconductor laser in an external cavity operating as a transmitter in the millimeter wave frequency range. We present a system implementation of this capable of transmitting 40-Mbt/s digital data at a 35-GHz subcarrier frequency with bit-error rates below 10-9 over a 6.3-km-long optical fiber link
