Abstract
We propose a technique based on heterodyne detection for accurately and simultaneously measuring the amplitude and phase transfer functions of an optical modulator. The technique is used to characterize an InGaAsP multiple quantum-well electroabsorption modulator. From the measurements we derive the small-signal /spl alpha/-parameter and the time-dependent chirp for different operation conditions.
