Broad-band electronic linearizer for externally modulated analog fiber-optic links

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 with a noise floor of -124 dBm/Hz, the spurious free dynamic range (SFDR) is improved by 14 dB from 85 dB/Hz/sup 2/3/ to 99 dB/Hz/sup 2/3/.
