Intermodulation distortion and compression in an integrated electrooptic modulator.

We have characterized the intermodulation distortion and compression properties of an integrated optical modulator at microwave frequencies by measuring the third-order intercept and 1-dB compression points. Values of +30.0 and +21.4 dBm, respectively, were measured and agree well with theory. When operated in the shot-noise-limited regime, these devices can have spurious free dynamic ranges in excess of 100 dB, making them attractive as potential alternatives to conventional diode mixers in special applications.
