“…In addition, none of the above corn- Nortel parisons have included Erbium doped fiber amplifiers (EDFA), which are becoming increasingly common in long distance optical links. These optical amplifiers overcome fiber losses and increase receiver sensitivity [14], but also introduce noise. In particular, the amplified spontaneous emission (ASE) noise scales linearly with optical power so it is important to find a modulator that is not only linear but also has a small optical carrier or large low power efficiency.…”

“…An additional advantage of balanced detection is that the effect of optical relative intensity noise (RIN) is significantly reduced owing to the cancelation of DC and baseband terms. Generally, RIN and shot noise [16] are the two kinds of dominant noises in an analog-optical link [17], thus reducing the effect of RIN will surely benefit the signal dynamic range of the system [18]. Therefore, balanced detection is strongly preferred over single-ended detection.…”
