Enhanced linear dynamic range of asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulator/detector

An InGaAsP multiple-quantum-well asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulator/detector has been developed for radio-over-fiber systems. The measured bandwidth is more than 6 GHz and the total insertion loss is 7.1 dB. The property of nonlinearity and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) has been studied theoretic...

Summary:An InGaAsP multiple-quantum-well asymmetric Fabry-Perot modulator/detector has been developed for radio-over-fiber systems. The measured bandwidth is more than 6 GHz and the total insertion loss is 7.1 dB. The property of nonlinearity and spurious-free dynamic range (SFDR) has been studied theoretically. By optimizing the operation optical wavelength and bias voltage based on the numerical simulation, fifth-order nonlinearity dominates the intermodulation distortion and an SFDR of 101 dB.Hz super(4)5/ has been achieved experimentally.
