A Linearized Optical Single-Sideband Modulation Analog Microwave Photonic Link Using Dual Parallel Interferometers
Abstract
Dual parallel Mach-Zehnder interferometers (MZIs) are presented to linearize the optical single-sideband (OSSB) modulation analog microwave photonic link. By using a dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator at the transmit side of the link, an OSSB modulation can be obtained. By exploiting different RF responses of two MZIs at the receive end, the third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) is well suppressed and the spurious-free dynamic range …
