Abstract

Intermodulation induced by chirp-dispersion interaction, a major issue in radio over fiber link deployment, is mod eled through a simulation code. Comparison with mea sured intercept point results shows successful matching within 1 dB. The adiabatic chirp coefficient is studied under the influence of the physical parameters of a semiconduc tor diode laser in order to determinate an optimal working point for a direct optical modulation. Finally the injection locking technique is proposed in order to reduce the chirp coefficient of the laser.
