In multi-channel RF transmission, monitoring and accurate control of amplitude and phase of the transmit signal is necessary to ensure safety. To this end, we present a four-channel transceiver array for 7T imaging built from optically-controlled on-coil amplifiers with optical real-time RF signal monitoring. Based on this monitoring signal an amplitude and phase control can be implemented for flexible, accurate and rapid control of B1 and SAR.
