An electrooptic intensity modulator with improved linearity
TL;DR: In this article, a highly linear electrooptic modulator has been designed, fabricated, and evaluated, which consists of only a simple modification to the directional coupler, and two-tone testing has demonstrated that, for an optical modulation depth of 30% per channel, the third-order intermodulation distortion is more than 30 dB lower than that of the conventional directional coupling or Mach-Zehnder modulators.
