Measurement methods of a half-wavelength voltage and a chirp parameter for Mach-Zehnder optical modulators in high-frequency radio on fibre (RoF) systems. | Status: Current

1 Scope This document specifies measurement methods of a half-wavelength voltage and a chirp parameter applicable to MZMs in microwave and millimeter-wave RoF systems. In addition, these methods are also effective for the estimation of the intermodulation distortions and transmission performances. The methods apply for the following:

• – frequency range: 5 GHz to 110 GHz;
• – wavelength band: 0,8 µm to 2,0 µm;
• – electro-optic material based MZMs and their modules.
