Abstract A linearization scheme is proposed for microwave photonic link to enlarge spurious free dynamic range using a dual-electrode dual parallel Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM). This scheme employs phase control method to improve performance of the link by adjusting phase of radio frequency (RF) signals and bias voltages of optical modulator. Optical single sideband modulation is achieved through sub-modulators of dual parallel MZM which increases efficiency of the link. The simulated results show that third order intermodulation distortion is suppressed by 28 dB when the input RF signals are 9.1 and 9.5 GHz and noise floor is at −161 dBm/Hz. The spurious free dynamic range is also improved by 12.6 dB.

Abstract In this paper, a dual-drive dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder Modulator based linearization scheme is implemented by utilizing only two phase shifters and comprehensively demonstrated for a photonic transmission link. Third order intermodulation distortion is suppressed by adjusting angles of electrical phase shifters i.e. π/2 and−π/2 and a non-linear distortion immune system can be proposed for microwave photonic link. A complete suppression in intermodulation terms and 20.8 dB enhancements are found in spurious free dynamic range (SFDR). SFDR reaches 135.6 dB Hz4/5 by suppressing major spurious contributors of third order intermodulation distortions in optical domain only which ensures the improvement in performance of link against non-linear terms.
