摘要
A system to demonstrate fast analog signal transmission through optical fibers is presented. The dynamic range of output voltages is 2 mV to 1.0 V at a bandwidth of 150 MHz. The intended future application is to transmit nanosecond photomultiplier pulses over distances of 150 m with minimal pulse shape distortions. The advantages, problems and the further development potential are discussed. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
