Microwave fiber optic link linearization by design-oriented analytic model

An analytic design-oriented model of microwave optical link has been developed. The core of the model is the nonlinear and noise model of a Mach-Zehnder LiNbO 3 interferometer. Different linearized microwave links, based on the use of an auxiliary modulator, have been designed by using the proposed...

Summary:An analytic design-oriented model of microwave optical link has been developed. The core of the model is the nonlinear and noise model of a Mach-Zehnder LiNbO 3 interferometer. Different linearized microwave links, based on the use of an auxiliary modulator, have been designed by using the proposed model: significant improvement of the 3 rd -order intermodulation attenuation has been measured on a lab test bed.
