Analysis of optical modulators for radio over free space optical communication systems and radio over fiber systems

Radio over Free Space Optics (RoFSO) and Radio over Fiber (RoF) are recent technologies in optical communication systems. Both these technologies require some form of external optical modulator in the transmitter side. The commonly used optical modulators are Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) and Electro...
