Analysis and Improvement of Mach–Zehnder Modulator Linearity Performance for Chirped and Tunable Optical Carriers
نویسنده
چکیده
Photonic systems that use a variable or chirped optical wavelength and a single Mach–Zehnder modulator have been analyzed to determine the relation between optical bandwidth and spur free dynamic range. A novel wavelength insensitive biasing technique is proposed which significantly reduces the second-order distortion and increases the optical bandwidth.

Optical generation of polarity- and shape-switchable ultrawideband pulses using a chirped intensity modulator and a first-order asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer.
We propose and demonstrate a simple method to generate ultrawideband (UWB) pulses in the optical domain using a chirped intensity modulator and an asymmetric Mach-Zehnder interferometer (AMZI). Polarity- and shape-switchable UWB Gaussian monocycle, doublet, and triplet pulses with fractional bandwidths of 158%, 134%, and 100% and center frequencies of 6.52, 9.78, and 10.1 GHz are experimentally...
متن کاملHigh-Speed, Low-Driving-Voltage Dual-Drive InP-Based Mach-Zehnder Modulator
We present a dual traveling-wave electrode InP-based Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator with an n-i-n waveguide structure. An electrical input/output interface placed on one side of the chip helps us to drive the modulator in a push-pull configuration. This configuration provides the modulator with great advantages such as reduced driving voltage amplitude, chirp-free operation, and the ability to sup...

متن کاملA MMI-based ultra-linear high-gain modulator and its performance analysis
An electric optical modulator including a 1 2 multimode interference (MMI) coupler and an integrated Mach–Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) modulator that consists of a microring and a Phase Modulator (PM) is suggested in this paper. Such a modulator can achieve large output RF gain and high linearity performance at the same time. Moreover, due to the application of MMI coupler, traditional direct c...
