An integrated analog optical transmitter combining a high power, low RIN laser and external modulator will be developed using a fully monolithic chip design or a free space coupled package with a laser and modulator chip. Optical, mechanical, and RF design analysis will be performed in Phase I to identify the optimum solution.
Benefit: Wireless network base station links, commercial avionics, inflight entertainment system cable replacement
Keywords: analog modulator, analog modulator, RF over Fiber, RF photonics, Fiber optics, RIN
