IEC/PAS 62593:2008(E) gives a measurement method of half-wavelength voltage applicable to Mach-Zehnder optical modulators in wireless communication and broadcasting systems. In addition, this method is also effective for the estimation of the intermodulation distortion of Mach-Zehnder optical modulators.
- Frequency range: 10 MHz to 30 GHz.
- Wavelength band: 0,8 µm, 1,0 µm, 1,3 µm and 1,5 µm.
- Electro-optic material based Mach-Zehnder optical modulators and their modules.
