Abstract

For high speed frequency domain instrument applications, a large bandwidth, efficient, and calibrated modulation source is required. Our primary interest was in developing a modulation source for a 20-GHz lightwave component analyzer (HP8703A). The use of a lithium niobate Mach-Zehnder external modulator for this application has the advantages of large modulation bandwidth, narrow linewidth, operation over a large wavelength range, and the ability to self-calibrate the modulation frequency response.
