An integrated optical transmitter for use in an optical system has an optical head assembly with an optical beam generator for providing an optical beam and a lens assembly collecting the optical beam and generating therefrom a formed optical beam. Interface optics receives the formed optical beam and provides optical coupling so as to minimize insertion loss to the optical beam. Also included is an optical modulator for receiving the optical beam from the interface optics and for providing a modulated optical beam in response to received modulation signals. The optical modulator is coupled to the interface optics to be in a fixed relationship therewith.

An optical link is described for transmission of an RF signal using an optical fiber having opposing ends and configured such that unwanted distortion signals are produced when optical signals pass through the optical fiber. At least first and second optical signals are transmitted through the optical fiber, where the optical signals have been modulated with an RF signal in such a way that a predetermined relationship is produced between the RF signals modulated on the first and second optical signals. At the opposing end of the optical fiber, a receiving arrangement receives the modulated first and second optical signals including the unwanted distortion signals produced during the transmission through the optical fiber. The receiving arrangement then regenerates the RF signal from the modulated first and second optical signals while causing the unwanted distortion signals to be canceled based on the predetermined relationship between the RF signals modulated on the first and second optical signals.

A multi-mode optical fiber link is described. The multi-mode optical fiber link includes a first spatial mode converter that is coupled to a first single mode optical fiber. The first spatial mode converter conditions a modal profile of an optical signal propagating from the single mode optical fiber to the first spatial mode converter. A multi-mode optical fiber is coupled to the first spatial mode converter. A second spatial mode converter is coupled to an output of the multi-mode optical fiber and to a second single mode optical fiber. The second spatial mode converter reduces a number of optical modes in the optical signal. Both the first and the second spatial mode converters increase an effective modal bandwidth of the optical signal.

A multi-mode optical fiber link is described that includes a single-mode optical fiber having an input that receives an optical signal for transmission through the multi-mode optical fiber link. A first spatial mode converter is coupled to the single-mode optical fiber. The first spatial mode converter conditions a modal profile of the optical signal for propagation through a multi-mode optical fiber. A multi-mode optical fiber is coupled to an output of the first spatial mode converter. A second spatial mode converter is coupled to an output of the multi-mode optical fiber. The second spatial mode converter reduces a number of optical modes in the optical signal. Both the first and the second spatial mode converters increase an effective modal bandwidth of the optical signal propagating through an output of the second spatial mode converter.

An optical transmitter for an optical fiber transmission system is described. The optical transmitter includes an optical source that generates an optical signal having a wavelength at an output. An optical intensity modulator modulates the optical signal with an electrical modulation signal to generate a modulated optical signal at an output. At least one parameter of the optical intensity modulator is chosen to suppress at least one of phase and sideband information in the modulated optical signal. An optical fiber is coupled to the output of the optical intensity modulator. The suppression of the at least one of the phase and the sideband information in the modulated optical signal increases an effective modal bandwidth of the optical fiber.

The multiplier may comprise signal conditioning elements for conditioning the rf pulses within the multiplier. In another embodiment of the invention, a plurality of the pulse multiplier may be arranged in a cascade, whereby the cascade produces a number of pulses that is the arithmetic product of the number of pulses produced in the respective stages of the cascade. The multiplier may further embody a notch filter for substantially rejecting an rf pulse train of frequency f by selecting the time delay equal to the period 1/f of the input pulse frequency.
