Abstract
A RF amplification system which includes a RF modulation unit fed by an optical carrier and an RF input signal, the modulation unit modulating the RF input signal onto the optical carrier to produce a modulated RF optical signal; an array of optical amplifiers coupled to the modulation unit for receiving and amplifying the modulated RF optical signals; and a detecting unit having at least one photodetector coupled to the array of optical amplifiers for receiving and detecting the modulated RF optical signals, the at least one photodetector producing an amplified RF output in response thereto.
