Abstract

Presnted is a new optical transmission system to transmit the FM control signal (80 MHz) through an optical fiber by the use of an inexpensive LED having a cutoff frequency of as low as 30 MHz. Studies are carried out on the division of the FM signal frequency at 80 MHz by a factor of four. The FM signal frequency is, after the transmission through the optical fiber, then multiplied by a factor of four so as to obtain the normal FM control signal.
