摘要：

Performance of nide-band photonic links (PL's) using Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZM's) is reported, Comparison parameters include loss, noise figure, and spur-free dynamic range (SFDR). The feasibility of a 0-dB noise-figure link even with passive matching is given and the advantages of dual-output MZM's are presented, A new figure of merit is introduced to quantitatively optimize link performance with or without a preamplifier.
