Abstract :
A paper on long-haul analog photonics is presented using theory and experimental results. Various analog fiber-optic modulation formats are reviewed, including intensity modulation with direct detection, phase modulation with interferometric demodulation, and suppressed-carried techniques. Modulation linearization methods are reviewed. The limitations of and requirements for photodiode detectors are described.
