É introduzida uma nova estrutura do modulador eletro-óptico para compensar a distorção de intermodulação de terceira ordem (IMD3). O modulador inclui dois moduladores Mach-Zehnder (MZMs) operando com chirp de frequência e as duas saídas moduladas são combinadas com uma diferença de fase adequada. Revelamos por meio de análise teórica e cálculos numéricos que os componentes do IMD3 na saída do receptor poderiam ser suprimidos seletivamente quando os dois MZMs operam com parâmetros de chirp de sinais opostos entre si. A potência espectral dos componentes IMD3 no modulador proposto foi mais de 15dB inferior à de um modulador Mach-Zehnder normal no índice de modulação entre 0.15π e 0.25π rad. As propriedades de compensação IMD3 do modulador proposto foram confirmadas experimentalmente usando uma estrutura de modulador Mach-Zehnder paralelo duplo (DPMZM). Projetamos e fabricamos o modulador com estrutura de chip único e operação de entrada única, integrando-o com acoplador híbrido de 180° no substrato do modulador. Sinais de modulação foram aplicados a cada eletrodo de modulação pelo acoplador híbrido de 180° para definir os parâmetros de chirp de dois MZMs do DPMZM. As propriedades do modulador fabricado foram medidas usando sinais de dois tons de 10 GHz. O desempenho da remuneração do IMD3 concordou com o cálculo. Foi confirmado que a compensação IMD3 poderia ser realizada até mesmo pela estrutura do modulador fabricada.

Abstract: A new structure of the electro-optic modulator to compensate the third-order intermodulation distortion (IMD3) is introduced. The modulator includes two Mach-Zehnder modulators (MZMs) operating with frequency chirp and the two modulated outputs are combined with an adequate phase difference. We revealed by theoretical analysis and numerical calculations that the IMD3 components in the receiver output could be selectively suppressed when the two MZMs operate with chirp parameters of opposite signs to each other. Spectral power of the IMD3 components in the proposed modulator was more than 15dB lower than that in a normal Mach-Zehnder modulator at modulation index between 0.15π and 0.25π rad. The IMD3 compensation properties of the proposed modulator was experimentally confirmed by using a dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) structure. We designed and fabricated the modulator with the single-chip structure and the single-input operation by integrating with 180° hybrid coupler on the modulator substrate. Modulation signals were applied to each modulation electrode by the 180° hybrid coupler to set the chirp parameters of two MZMs of the DPMZM. The properties of the fabricated modulator were measured by using 10GHz two-tone signals. The performance of the IMD3 compensation agreed with that in the calculation. It was confirmed that the IMD3 compensation could be realized even by the fabricated modulator structure.
