Abstract
A balanced photonic receiver is demonstrated to suppress photodiode-generated
even-order nonlinearities in a photonic link. This result is especially important
for multioctave analog applications. Experimental results are presented for
a high-frequency (2–30 MHz) link exhibiting 33-dB suppression of the
second harmonic, resulting in an output intercept point of 99 dBm due to second-order
intermodulation distortion at 26-mA average photocurrent.
