[Eric, Alex]
We successfully used our system to modulate the input to a single photodetector. The RF Out of the network analyzer went to the Mod In of our laser, which was operating at 98 mA. The laser's output was sent to our 1x16 optical splitter. This provided input signals for both our reference detector and AS55. Our reference detector's output was sent to the network analyzer's R input, while the AS55's output was sent to the network analyzer's A input.
We still need to work out the specifics of how the modulation works. Specifically, we want to look at the amplitude of the network analyzer's output. Additionally, we may have been saturating our reference detector, causing noise problems. |
