MC4.6 - IMPACT OF NONLINEARITY IN AN MUTC PHOTODETECTOR ON AN RF-MODULATED FREQUENCY COMB

Abstract

Abstract

We calculate the impact of nonlinearity in an MUTC photodetector on an RF-modulated frequency comb, taking into account bleaching (gain saturation). An RF-modulated frequency comb is characterized by a distinct IMD2n and IMD3n and hence a distinct OIP2n and OIP3n for each comb line n.
