Evaluation of midband analog fiber optic telemetry links

Hansen, G.J.

Midband (1KHz -- 500MHz) analog fiber optic data links were purchased for evaluation from three suppliers. Ortel Corp., Alhambra, CA, provided units built to the specifications. Kaman Sciences Corp, Colorado Springs, CO and Laser Diode Inc., Princeton, NJ, provided units similar to the specification but with significant differences. The final version of the Ortel units met the specification but were marginal in dynamic range. The other units failed to meet the specification but showed promise for future application.
