Design of Broadband High Dynamic-Range Fiber Optic Links

An analytic design-oriented model of microwave optical links has been developed. The core of the model is the non-linear and noise model of a Mach-Zehnder LiNbO interferometer. Both a 100 MHz–20 GHz link and a linearized microwave link, comprising an auxiliary modulator, have been designed and proto...

Summary:An analytic design-oriented model of microwave optical links has been developed. The core of the model is the non-linear and noise model of a Mach-Zehnder LiNbO interferometer. Both a 100 MHz–20 GHz link and a linearized microwave link, comprising an auxiliary modulator, have been designed and prototyped by using the model.
