Broadband, directly modulated analog fiber link with positive intrinsic gain and reduced noise figure

We report the concept and first demonstration of a broadband amplifierless, directly modulated analog fiberoptic link with an intrinsic gain of +3.8 dB, based on a series connection of diode lasers and a pin photodiode.
