Bob; They are amplitude modulated devices, so be sure you have the
minimum length of fiber (or equivalent attenuation) or you might not
detect anything due to saturation of the detector.

Does anyone have any experience with Fiber Optics in linear applications

up to 2 GHz?

We just got some F/O TX/RX's that are supposed to provide 0 dBm to 0 dBm

end to end over the frequency range of 10 to 2200 MHz.  But when
installed over our existing Fibers, they dont.  MFR's tech support's
only
help was "are they plugged in"  Are they turned on?.  Should work.

Bob
