This book presents electrical system models for the different elements of a photonic microwave link such as lasers, external modulators, optical fibers, photodiodes and phototransistors.
The current and likely future trends for development of these components are also included: from lasers to VCSEL, external modulators to electro-absorption modulators, glass optical fibers to plastic optical fibers, photodiodes to UTC photodiodes or phototransistors.
It also describes an original methodology for the evaluation of the performances of a microwave photonic link, based on the previously developed electrical models. This can be easily incorporated into commercially available circuit simulation software, enabling the reader to simulate the complete photonic link.
