Abstract

An intensity-modulation direct-detection (IMDD) radio-over-fiber link with a tunable transfer function is presented. It utilizes a bias drift free intensity modulator based on a Sagnac fiber loop interferometer containing an optical phase modulator. By adjusting the polarization controller in the interferometer, the transfer function of the whole system can be tuned. The present method is simple and easy to implement.
