Error‐free transmission in dispersion‐limited microwave fiber‐optic links is demonstrated. The principle is based on the frequency chirp generated by fiber‐induced self‐phase modulation which, in combination with the chromatic dispersion, leads to an improvement of the frequency–length product of the optical link. Experimental results for8 Mbit/s data transmission at 7 GHz through 75 km of standardsingle‐mode fiber confirm the good performance of this technique. © 2000 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.
