Research abstract
A novel broad bandwidth modulator is proposed that has the potential for reducing link size by a factor of 75 and link dc power by a factor of 50. The novel modulator will also permit more environmentally robust packaging than has been possible with conventional electro-optic modulators. Finally the novel modulator is projected to permit even lower noise figure links – 3 dB – without any electronic LNA. Phase I of the proposed SBIR will quantify more fully the size, weight, and power (SWaP), packaging and link performance improvements that can be anticipated from a link, which is built around the novel modulator. Phase II will demonstrate the novel modulator concept by packaging the novel modulator and testing it over various environmental conditions.
