Abstract:

A modulator-spurious-free electro-optic method is proposed for analyzing the harmonic distortion of photodetectors (PDs) based on frequency-shifted optical heterodyne. The proposed method utilizes the heterodyne between phase-modulated optical signals and a frequency-shifted optical carrier as an actual overall electro-optical stimulus. The harmonic distortion of PDs under an ideal single-tone electro-optical stimulus can be de-embedded from the spurious distortion in the actual overall electro-optical stimulus by tracking the modulation depth of the phase modulation. Therefore, the proposed method equivalently provides an ideal single-tone stimulus for implementing modulator-spurious-free measurement of harmonic distortion of PDs. Moreover, our method enables bias-independent and frequency-swept analysis for PDs, thanks to electro-optic phase modulation. For a proof-of-concept, second- and third-order harmonic output intercept points (HOIP2, HOIP3) of a commercial PD are measured at different frequencies, and the consistency between our method and conventional methods verifies that the modulator-spurious-free analysis provides a minimalist setup but accurate method for the harmonic distortion characterization of PDs.

IR Spectrometers

There are two main infrared (IR) spectrophotometers: dispersive IR spectrometers and Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectrometers. In a dispersive IR spectrometer, a beam of infrared radiation produced by a hot wire is divided into two parallel equal-intensity beams using mirrors. One beam passes through the sample, while another is a reference beam. The beams then move through the monochromator, which separates the radiations into a continuous spectrum of different frequencies. The...

¹H NMR: Interpreting Distorted and Overlapping Signals

Spin systems where the difference in chemical shifts of the coupled nuclei is greater than ten times J are called first-order spin systems. These nuclei are weakly coupled, and their chemical shifts and coupling constant can generally be estimated from the well-separated signals in the spectrum.
As Δν decreases and the signals move closer, the doublets appear increasingly distorted. The intensities of the inner lines increase at the cost of those of the outer lines as the signals are...
