Abstract

A theoretical model is presented for the performance evaluation of multichannel systems based on an electro‐optic external modulator. It is able to explain the asymptotic behavior of the signal‐to‐intermodulation ratio against modulating signal power. In particular, it is verified that, above a given threshold value, the useful signal is deeply stifled, while the distortions maintain constant. The model provides a simple method to calculate such a threshold value, above which the system performance is fully degraded. © 2001 John Wiley & Sons, Inc.

An imbalance in the modulation voltages for the two branches of a Mach-Zehnder (MZ) modulator causes frequency chirp. In combination with optical cavities, fiber dispersion, or EDFA gainslope, this chirp introduces distortion in analog lightwave CATV systems. We have derived expressions for the freq
