Popis: Analog optical links using electroabsorption modulators have a gain limit caused by the photocurrent in the modulator. The gain limit results in a minimum link noise figure as well. The gain limit is due to the voltage-dependent absorption causing a voltage-dependent component to the photocurrent; the gain limit applies to a modulator that has this relationship
