Highly linear electro-optic modulator based on ring resonator

The distortion introduced by a ring resonator modulator (RRM) on an optical link is analyzed and modeled in terms of the design parameters of the device.The results show that the RRM can help suppress the third‐order intermodulation, allowing for achieving a high spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) o...

Summary:The distortion introduced by a ring resonator modulator (RRM) on an optical link is analyzed and modeled in terms of the design parameters of the device.The results show that the RRM can help suppress the third‐order intermodulation, allowing for achieving a high spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) of about 126 dB Hz4/5 with respect to the limiting spur. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
