Abstract :
Accurate intensity and phase measurement of high-speed optical pulses is becoming more important with the ever increasing data rates of fiber links. Linear spectrograms employing electroabsorption modulators have proven to be useful in making these measurements. In this letter, we investigate and compare the use of electrooptic Mach-Zehnder and phase modulators in linear spectrograms
