Linearity-Enhanced Dual-Parallel Mach–Zehnder Modulators Based on a Thin-Film Lithium Niobate Platform

In this work, we report a linearity-enhanced dual-parallel Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM) on a thin-film lithium niobate platform. By setting the optical and electrical splitting ratios at a specific condition, the third-order intermodulation distortions (IMD3) of the child MZMs cancel with each other...
