ABSTRACT:
An optically-coupled high frequency amplifier is disclosed herein. The ampliifer of the present invention includes a laser and a receiver coupled by an optical beam. The amplifier further includes a modulator responsive to an input signal for modulating the optical beam generated by the laser. The receiver produces an output signal in response to the modulated optical beam. A specific embodiment of the present invention further includes impedance matching means for increasing the maximum operating frequency of the laser and the receiver.
