Abstract
Linearization of analog fiber-optic links using a novel CMOS linearization circuit is reported, A 17-dB suppression of the third-order intermodulation product (IMP3) has been achieved at the modulation index of 49.6% and over a broad-band frequency range from dc to 1.3 GHz, In an experimental link w ith a noise floor of -124 dBm/Hz, the spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) is improved by 14 dB from 85 dB/Hz(2/3) to 99 dB/Hz(2/3).
