摘要
A novel linearization concept to reduce the distortion products from integrated-optic modulators is proposed and analyzed. The proposed linearization concept could be used on any type of modulator with an odd transfer function. In our case, we linearized a dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator and compared our results against a conventional linearization concept. We have found that the proposed concept gives a 40% higher modulation index compared to a concept based on reduction of the cubic nonlinearity of the modulator.
