6.5 NONLINEARITY AND DYNAMIC RANGE
OF OIL VCSELs
Linearity is an important figure-of-merit for analog fiber-optic links, as it repre-
sents the faithfulness of reproduction of the modulation signal. Typical optical link
linearity is characterized by SFDR. It is defined as the signal-to-noise ratio at the
input RF power for which the system n oise floor equals the largest distortion spur
power. Distortion occurs from several sources, including second- and third-order
harmonics of the signal and the intermodulation distortion (IMD) between differ-
ent channels. For device studies, the standard technique is to characterize the third-
order intermodu lation ...
