Dm. Baney et al., HIGH-FREQUENCY PHOTODIODE CHARACTERIZATION USING A FILTERED INTENSITYNOISE TECHNIQUE, IEEE photonics technology letters, 6(10), 1994, pp. 1258-1260
Optical filtering of amplified spontaneous emission improves measureme
nt dynamic range for frequency response measurements of optoelectronic
receivers. For high bandwidth receivers, a novel periodically filtere
d intensity noise technique is proposed. Response measurements using t
hese techniques on a 1 GHz and 30 GHz receiver are demonstrated.
