 This book presents the electrical models for the different elements of a photonic microwave link like lasers, external modulators, optical fibers, photodiodes and phototransistors. The future trends of these components are also introduced: lasers to VCSEL, external modulators to electro-absorption modulators, glass optical fibers to plastic optical fibers, photodiodes to UTC photodiodes or phototransistors. It also describes an original methodology to evaluate the performance of a microwave photonic link, based on the developed elcetrical models, that can be easily incorporated in commercial electrical circuits simulation software to simulate this complete link. 

 General points -- Generation and modulation of light -- Optical fibers and amplifiers -- Photodetectors -- Performance of microwave photonic links -- Complement to microwave photonic link performances -- Electronic amplifiers in microwave photonic links -- Simulation and measurement of microwave photonic links -- Bibliography -- Index.
