Abstract
An analysis of directly and externally modulated fiberoptic links is presented. The theoretical analysis is based on the signal flow diagram of the interface circuits to the laser diode, Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator, and p-i-n photodiode. System parameters such as gain, noise figure, two-tone intermodulation distortion, and spurious free and compression dynamic range are expressed as a function of frequency and operating point of the laser and external modulator. Two directly and externally modulated fiber-optic links were designed and fabricated to verify the analytical models. The direct modulation FO link was developed at the Ku-band (11.6-12.4 GHz), whereas the external modulation link was at L-band (875-925 MHz). Spurious-free dynamic ranges of 95.8 dB-Hz exp 2/3 and 113 dB-Hz exp 2/3, respectively, were achieved. The predictions based on the analytical models match the measured results.
