A miniature Nd:YAG laser and an intensity modulator based VSB‐AM video signal transmitter are described. With a light source having RIN level below ‐170 dB/Hz, the system allows a relatively low modulation index to be used. For a 40 channel system using a standard MZ, a CTB = 60 dB corresponds to m i = 1 per cent. With a 75 mW Nd:YAG laser source, a system with a power budget of 5.5 dB and 50 dB CNR is realizable. Several promising techniques of modulator linearization are also given.
