ABSTRACT:
A light emitting diode is modulated by the output signal of a F.E.T. amplifier, and the resulting light signal is fed back to the amplifier input via an optical fiber and a light detecting photo diode. Thus, current feedback is achieved with very flat frequency response over a full frequency band by modulating a light emitting diode with the preamplifier output signal, reconverting the resultant radiation to an electrical signal, which is then fed back to the preamplifier input.
