Signal-to-Noise Performance of Two Analog Photonic Links Using Different Noise Reduction Techniques

We demonstrate two analog photonic links that use different noise reduction techniques to achieve high gain and low noise figure without electronic amplification. Both links use a high-power, low-noise master oscillator power amplifier as the optical source, a balanced-bridge dual-output LiNbO 3 Mac...
