Abstract :
A new analytical expression (the conversion matrix) for the effect of an arbitrary optical transfer function on small signal RF modulation is presented with applications to linear-frequency-modulated (LFM) signals. Chromatic dispersion of any order can be investigated, as well as wavelength-dependent insertion loss.
