APPLICATIONS
In photonic CATV or RoF transmission systems, it is necessary to design and qualify subcomponents like direct modulated lasers and receivers, which are analog by nature, with different parameters. Those parameters are core to the overall system performance. These electro-optical components significantly influence the overall performance of the transmission system via the following parameters: 3dB bandwidth of the electro-optical transmission Relative frequency response, quantifying the electrooptical shape of the conversion. Absolute frequency response, relating to the conversion efficiency of signals from the input to the output, or indicating the gain of a receiver. Electrical reflection at the RF port Group delay of the electro-optical transfer function Only a careful design of these electro-optical com
