Abstract

The authors investigate the reduction of the dispersion-induced power penalty in harmonic up-converting millimeter-wave fiber-optic links by biasing appropriately the Mach-Zehnder electro-optical modulator. Experimental results on the carrier suppression effect are provided for three different types of bias.
