Jm. Fuster et al., Generalized study of dispersion-induced power penalty mitigation techniques in millimeter-wave fiber-optic links, J LIGHTW T, 18(7), 2000, pp. 933-940
The authors present a comprehensive analysis of the chromatic dispersion ef
fects in harmonic upconverted millimeter-wave (mm-wave) fiber-optic links,
The optical upconversion is performed through a photonic mixer based on a M
ach-Zehnder electrooptical modulator. It is shown that by biasing the elect
rooptical modulator either at the maximum or at the minimum transmission bi
as points, the dispersion-induced power penalty effect on the upconverted s
ignal may be sharply mitigated, which results in increasing the frequency-l
ength product of the fiber-optic link, Experimental results are provided fo
r the three different types of bias.
