Third-order linearization for self-beating filtered microwave photonic systems using a dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator.
We develop, analyze and apply a linearization technique based on dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator to self-beating microwave photonics systems. The approach enables broadband low-distortion transmission and reception at expense of a moderate electrical power penalty yielding a small optical power penalty (<1 dB).
