Abstract
Systems, methods, and devices are disclosed for implementing photonic links. Methods include transmitting light using an optical emitter, splitting, using an input coupler, the light into a first path and a second path, the first path being provided to a modulator, and the second path being provided to a phase shifter, and combining, using an output coupler, an output of the modulator and an output of the phase shifter. Methods further include identifying a modulator phase angle that reduces a third order distortion at an output of the output coupler, applying a first bias voltage to a modulator to maintain the identified modulator phase angle, and applying a control signal to the phase shifter to maintain a phase difference between an output of the modulator and an output of a phase shifter.
