ABSTRACT:
An electro-optic system for mixing and/or transmitting electrical signals using an optical carrier is described in which the electrical signals are applied to an electro-optic intensity modulator with a nonlinear transfer function, preferably of the Mach-Zehnder interferometric type biased at the transmission null point. The modulator output optical signal is transmitted to a receiver where it is detected and voltage products of the applied electrical signals are recovered.
