Abstract
A system for integrated optical LiNbO3 Mach–Zehnder modulator operating point remote control and stabilization was developed. It consisted of a conventional telecom photodiode and a passive electronic circuit at the bias input of the modulator. Light from an amplitude-modulated laser was used to remotely set the output voltage of the electronic circuit at the bias input of the Mach–Zehnder modulator. Information regarding the current operating point that had been provided with feedback system implementation was taken from DC values of high frequency photodetector currents. Efficient remote control of the modulator operating point over 1 km of a single-mode optical fiber, which multiplexes an optical carrier at 1550 nm and a low frequency control signal with a peak power of 2 mW at 1310 nm, was demonstrated. The results could be of interest for antenna remoting, radio-over-fiber (RoF) technology, and other applications with broadband optical transmission from remote sources in a distributed network.
