Abstract

A high fidelity, multi-output optical transmission system is configured utilizing a high power continuous wave YAG laser, multiport splitters, and linearized external modulation. An electro-optical modulator design in combination with a continuous wave laser, power splits and couplers attains a multi-octave bandwith transmitter possessing improved second and third order distortion characteristics. The system includes multiple individually modulated transmitter outputs which effectively provides bandwidth multiplication with full redundancy for increased transmission reliability.
