The period-one (P1) nonlinear dynamics of an optically injected single-mode semiconductor laser is considered for radio-over-fiber (RoF) communication. By introducing double locking from both optical and microwave injections, the laser acts to convert uplink microwave signals to upstream optical signals. In particular, communication at 24 GHz, which is beyond the conventional limit of relaxation resonance, is thoroughly investigated. Tailoring optical spectra of the P1 oscillations successfully suppresses the effects of chromatic dispersion of RoF transmission.
