Theoretical Model and Experimental Verification of 2 ANBXNB1 MachaZehnder EOM With Dispersive Optical Fiber Link Propagation

In this paper, we present a complete and closed theoretical model and its subsequent practical verification for a special type of Mach-Zehnder electrooptical modulator with a 2times1 optical ports configuration (two optical inputs/one output). This device present special modulation features due to its own optical structure. Its employment for modulation of millimeter and microwave signals and their further transmission through dispersive fiber is addressed, showing interesting and particular features respect to the carrier suppression effect or dispersion fading.
