Abstract :
Experiments show that the second-order intermodulation distortion product, namely, the composite second-order (CSO) distortion of an AM-SCM (subcarrier multiplexed) video transmission system can be caused by the optical isolators employed. Moreover, the absolute distortion value depends on the polarization angle of the light input to the optical isolators.<>
