Abstract
An apparatus and method for obtaining ultra-high speed operation of a semiconductor laser diode is presented. The invention utilizes any of a variety of conventional laser diodes in combination with cooling means for operation of the laser at temperatures below 120 K. Input electrical signals may include signals on a 28 GHz signal carrier and pulsed signals. An extended fiber optics cable may be used to operate the system as an optical delay line.
