circuit microwave tx/rx

Pictured is my setup.

What I am doing is transmitting a some Vpp signal through that diode, over fiber, and picking it up on the Rx diode. At any constant frequency I get a constant Vout/Vin.

The issue I am having is that when I keep a constant Vin (Tx) and change my frequency I get a changing Vout (Rx). As you can see it starts to level out. Vin (Tx) is 1.5 V and I start from 50 kHz to 500 kHz in steps of 50 kHz.

Why is this happening? What can I do to level this out? At what value, I don't really care just need Vout not to change like that and to be more constant. Doesn't have to be perfect.

Can I add some kind of RLC in line with the Tx Diode? Would that help? If so, what would it look like?
 

Uh....because you have the receiver hooke up wrong? Pin 6 is the DC voltage supply and pin 2 is the data output. Unless I am missing something, you have it hooked up like a two terminal diode. There is an active comparator inside.
