A radio-on-dense-wavelength-division-multiplexing (DWDM) transport system based on injection-locked Fabry-Perot laser diodes (FP LDs) with four microwave carriers and large effective area fiber (LEAF) transmission was proposed and demonstrated. Good performance of bit error rate (BER) and intermodulation distortion to carrier ratio (IMD/C) over a-50 km of LEAF was obtained. Signal quality meets the demands of personal handy system (PHS)/vehicle information and communication system (VICS)/electronic toll collection (ETC)/satellite broadcasting (SB).

Key Words: Fabry-Perot laser diode, injection-locked, large effective area fiber, radio-on-DWDM
