Abstract
A dual-modulation technique for the compensation of electrooptic inten sity modulator nonlinearities is presented. Analysis, computer simulat ion, and experimental measurements demonstrate the feasibility of the technique, with an improvement of over 20 dB in the carrier to third-o rder intermodulation product being achieved. The technique is straight forward to implement and is much less sensitive to signal-level variat ions than other techniques that have been presented.
