ABSTRACT:
The invention discloses a general technique of taking advantage of the stability of the modulator transfer characteristic in order to correct for second and third order distortion. These objectives are achieved in a way compatible with the nature of the video distribution frequency formats. The method of this invention for linearizing the amplitude transfer characteristic of integrated optic devices for analog transmission is accomplished by injecting pilot signals, monitoring the harmonic and intermodulation distortion content of the optical output, and feeding back bias signals to parametrically tune the operating points of the integrated optic modulator and of a predistortion network. General principles for realizing suitable parametrically tunable predistortion networks are also presented.
