Abstract

coherent fiberoptic link Demodulation Dynamic range high SFDR low NF Noise figure Noise measurement Phase locked loops Phase modulation Photonic phase locked loop
Phase modulated coherent fiberoptic links can potentially provide exceptionally high spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) and low noise figure (NF). Critical issue is the development of a strictly linear phase demodulator. In this paper we describe a phase demodulator employing a phase locked loop discriminator. Implementing the PPLL on a single substrate using the state-of-the-art components could yield an SFDR better than 145 dB/Hz2/3 and NF lower than 3dB.
