Electro-optic power/signal quality optimization based on the interaction between electro-optic modulators and electrical filters

Abstract This paper clarifies the effects of electrical filters with electro-optic modulators variations on the power/signal quality optimization and minimum data error rates reduction. The electro-optic modulators that are namely Mach Zehnder modulator, absorption modulator measured, single-drive Mach Zehnder modulator measured, and electro-absorption modulator. In addition to the filters are employed low pass (LP) Gaussian filter, LP Bessel filter, LP Butterworth filter, and LP Chebyshev filter. The hybrid combination between these modulators at the Tx. and the filters at the Rx. side give the chance to set the best candidate combinations from these devices for the power and signal quality optimization.
