Abstract
Bias electrode DC drift of LiNbO~3~ optical modulators becomes a critical problem when these devices operate over a long time period. This article presents a novel system of DC drift compensation for optical microwave transmissions using optical carrier suppression technique. In our case, such a system is dedicated to the optical distribution of high spectral purity microwave signals in future satellite payloads. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
