Nonlinear Distortions in EO Phase Modulators

Nonlinear Distortions in EO Phase Modulators

Nonlinear distortions induced by a voltage-dependent guided-mode field in electro-optical phase modulators are measured and quantified for the first time. Such distortions are shown to impact analog link performance under large-signal modulation.
