Photodiode nonlinearity measurement using a linearized phase-modulated optical link

A new technique to determine the nonlinearity of high-speed photodiodes is presented. Utilizing a linearized phase-modulated link architecture, we directly measure the photodiode intermodulation distortion. Our results agree with those obtained via a phase-locked laser technique.
