Generalized Mach–Zehnder interferometer architectures for radio frequency translation and multiplication: Suppression of unwanted harmonics by design

A generalized array of N parallel phase modulators electrically driven with a progressive 2π/N phase shift is analyzed. For N-even, the equivalence of this configuration to parallel Mach–Zehnder architectures, and specifically the equivalence for N=4 to a dual parallel Mach–Zehnder modulator is show...
