Abstract
We propose an intensity modulator based on injection locking of a resonant cavity with gain that has a linear transfer function, multigigahertz bandwidth, possible optical gain, and very low . The arcsine phase response of the injection-locked resonant cavity placed in one arm of a Mach–Zehnder interferometer is the key to the true linear performance of this modulator. The first (to our knowledge) demonstration of this modulator with bandwidth, of , and spur-free dynamic range is reported here.
