This book presents the electrical models for the different elementsof 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-absorptionmodulators, glass optical fibers to plastic optical fibers,photodiodes to UTC photodiodes or phototransistors.
It also describes an original methodology to evaluate theperformance of a microwave photonic link, based on the developedelcetrical models, that can be easily incorporated in commercialelectrical circuits simulation software to simulate this completelink.
