Abstract
A 1.3μm optical delay line providing a 150μS delay time in the spectral range 200–600 MHz has been realised using a 30 km-long single-mode fibre. The aim of this delay line is the ground test of an altimetric radar to be implemented in the oceanographic satellite Topex-Poseidon, whose launch is scheduled for the end of 1991.
