Abstract
The performance of a high-power RF photonic link incorporating a fiber-base d Mach-Zehnder modulator is reported. The 3.2 V dual-output V-pi of the fib er modulator, combined with the 100 mA balanced detection scheme, yielded a link gain greater than 13 dB and a +16 dBm input third-order intercept.
