Abstract
A class-B optical link is demonstrated as a means to provide high spur-free dynamic-range (110.4 dB · Hz<sup>2/3</sup>) with a minimum average
received power associated with the optical carrier. The link uses optical frequency modulation, linear
fiber-Bragg-grating frequency discriminators, and balanced detection to provide high linearity and maximum signal
power. Shot and intensity noises are minimized by the low total average received photocurrent (0.88 mA) that results
from class-B operation.
