1st Edition

This book presents the electrical models for the different elements of a photonic microwave link like lasers, external modulators, optical fibers, photodiodes and phototransistors.
The future trends
of these components are also introduced: lasers to VCSEL, external
modulators to electro-absorption modulators, glass optical fibers to
plastic optical fibers, photodiodes to UTC photodiodes or
phototransistors.
It also describes an original methodology to
evaluate the performance of a microwave photonic link, based on the
developed elcetrical models, that can be easily incorporated in
commercial electrical circuits simulation software to simulate this
complete link.
