To solve the problem that the additional phase noise of microwave optical transmission link deteriorates seriously under strong vibration environment. In this paper, firstly, the reasons for the deterioration of additional phase noise in the vibration environment of optical link are analyzed. Then the mechanism of vibration transmission is studied and a math model is established. Simulation and experimental analysis show that, the acceleration sensitivity of the optical link system is on the order of 10-12 in the low frequency range, and 10-11 in the high frequency range. The experiment result shows that,in a strong vibration environment, the additional phase noise of the optical link system deteriorates to about 40dBc/Hz. In particular, at the resonance, the additional phase noise deteriorates by about 8 dBc/Hz. By reducing the acceleration sensitivity of optical system and avoiding resonance, the effect of vibration on additional phase noise can be effectively reduced.
