Download or read book Microwaves Photonic Links written by Christian Rumelhard and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-03-01 with total page 295 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents the electrical models for the different elements of a photonic microwave link like lasers, external modulators, optical fibers, photodiodes and phototransistors. The future trends of these components are also introduced: lasers to VCSEL, external modulators to electro-absorption modulators, glass optical fibers to plastic optical fibers, photodiodes to UTC photodiodes or phototransistors. It also describes an original methodology to evaluate the performance of a microwave photonic link, based on the developed elcetrical models, that can be easily incorporated in commercial electrical circuits simulation software to simulate this complete link.
