This paper describes realized APC and pre-equalizer circuit, and their operation principle and test results. In analog optical transmitter, constant lasing power control, free of signal clipping and linearity are important considerations. We examined pre-equalizer and APC(Automatic Power Control) circuit to improve the analog optical transmitter performance.

We have proposed a broadband analog feedforward optical transmitter using a wideband $180^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler instead of conventional frequency-sensitive phase shifter with the narrow bandwidth property using a wideband $180^{\circ}$ hybrid coupler, the wide-band linearization technique enhances the linearity of the feedforward optical transmitter. In two-tone cases, the $3^{rd}-IMD$ products was enhanced more than 10 dB in 385 MHz range(1.375$\sim$l.76 GHz).

We developed 60 GHz analog optical transmitter modules for radio-over-fiber (RoF). They were consisted of an electroabsorption modulator (EAM), impedance matching circuit, and amplifier. The characteristics of fabricated modules were investigated by measuring the signal-to-noise ratio and the noise figure of the 60 GHz RoF link.

Described is a new control signal transmission system which utilizes an optical fiber to transmit 2-bit control signals from the transmitter to receiver. In the transmitter the DC series control voltages are converted into the multiple frequency signals by voltage controlled oscillator (VCO). The multiple frequency signals can easily be transmitted by optical fiber. In the receiver the multiple frequency signals can be detected by analog or digital circuits and then be converted into 2-state control signals which can be used for a variety of applications.

The optical fiber micro-cellular system requires the high linearity that determines the quality and capacity of system. Hence, there is a need for improving the linearity in mobile communication system. In order to compensate dispersion-induced signal distortion, we fabricated the optical feedforward transmitter. The compared 3rd-IMD was enhanced by 38 dB for two-tone case and the Adjacent Channel Power Ratio was enhanced by 20 dB for W-CDMA 1 carrier and by 16 dB for W-CDMA 3 carriers. Also, the induced noise level was reduced.

Linearity is the one of the most important features for analog-optic transmission system. In our research, the available bandwidth for the feed-forward compensation circuit is enhanced by using a 180 hybrid coupler in the circuit. The bandwidth having the decreased 3rd-order intermodulation distortion(IMD3) over 10 dB is extended over 200 MHz with the center frequency of 1.6 GHz. We performed an efficient bandwith measurement for the feed-forward compensation system, which uses the network analyzer instead of the traditional measuring system that uses two RF signal generators and the spectrum analyzer. We identify the usefulness of this method from experimental results. In this study, we used cheap digital-purpose laser diodes for economical aspect, which proves the efficiency of the proposed analog system. The spurious-free dynamic range is improved about 6 dB/Hz.

We simulated 3rd order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) induced Carrier-to-Intermodulation Ratio (CIR) of laser diodes over a wide range of optical modulation index, and compared the results with commercial IMD3 induced CIR specification such as Composite Triple Beat (CTB) of DFB laser transmitter for CATV networks. It shows that the simulation results are in good agreement with the CATV CTB specification within 3dB margin. The results can be used to predict IMD3 induced CIR performance for various analog optical transmission systems with given optical modulation index and the number of transmission channels.

We have implement어 a bust mode optical transmitter using digital temperature compensation architecture with a microprocessor. Instead of previous analog real time technique, we used digital sampling and holding technique for the temperature compensation in order to get stable high speed data transmission of the laser diode. This digital temperature compensation technique should be complemented the previous analog method with accuracy and effectiveness in the over Gb/s transmitting application.

In this paper, we have studied temperature compensation architecture for a bust mode optical transmitter to convert the electric burst mode date signal to a optical one through the laser diode. In order to get stable high speed data transmission, we used digital sampling technique with a microprocessor for the temperature compensation of the laser diode, not the previous real time analog technique. Though the digital automatic power control circuit should be complemented the previous analog one with accuracy and effectiveness. So the digital technique will be more effective in further future in development for the over Gb/s transmitting speed.
