High Linearity Microwave Photonic Up-Conversion System Based on Parallel Dual-Drive Mach–Zehnder Modulators

A large dynamic frequency up-conversion scheme based on parallel dual-drive Mach–Zehnder modulators (DD-MZM) and balance detection is proposed and demonstrated experimentally. By optimizing the distribution ratio of the optical carrier power and the IF signal power between the two DD-MZMs, the third...
