UWB Monocycle Generation and Bi-Phase Modulation Based on Mach–Zehnder Modulator and Semiconductor Optical Amplifier

We propose and experimentally demonstrate an approach in generating a pair of polarity-reversed ultra-wideband (UWB) monocycle pulses by using a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA). The monocycle polarity is controlled by adjusting the bias voltage of the MZM to...
