The present invention provides a fiber optic link utilizing asymmetric homodyne modulation and balanced detection to achieve a very high dynamic range. The link uses a Mach Zehnder Modulator to generate a double-sideband suppressed-carrier signal from a laser light signal of a carrier frequency and a modulating signal at a modulating frequency. The laser light signal is phase shifted and injected into the double-sideband suppressed-carrier signal. Two signals are generated wherein the fundamental components are out-of-phase. The two signals are input to a balanced receiver wherein the one signal is subtracted from the other, resulting in the fundamental components adding, thereby providing an improved fundamental signal.
