FOREWORD
1) The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) is a worldwide organization for standardization comprising
all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote international
co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To this end and in
addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications, Technical Reports,
Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC Publication(s)”). Their
preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested in the subject dealt with
may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-governmental organizations liaising
with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely with the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence between
any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.
7) No liability shall attach to IEC or its directors, employees, servants or agents including individual experts and
members of its technical committees and IEC National Committees for any personal injury, property damage or
other damage of any nature whatsoever, whether direct or indirect, or for costs (including legal fees) and expenses
arising out of the publication, use of, or reliance upon, this IEC Publication or any other IEC Publications.
8) Attention is drawn to the Normative references cited in this publication. Use of the referenced publications is
indispensable for the correct application of this publication.

INTRODUCTION
A variety of microwave-photonic devices are used in wireless communication and broadcasting
systems. A photo-receiver is an interface which converts an optical signal to an electronic signal.
This International Standard has been prepared to provide methods for evaluating and calibrating
high speed photo-receivers to be used in Radio over Fibre systems.
The method utilizes a Mach-Zehnder modulator for generating two-tone lightwaves as stimulus
signals, to provide simpler and easier methods than the conventional method utilizing a complex
two-laser system phase-locked with each other.
The International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) draws attention to the fact that it is claimed
that compliance with this document may involve the use of a patent concerning a calibration
method and device for light intensity measuring instrument, as it relates to Clause 6.

optical-to-electric conversion devices in wireless communication and broadcasting systems.
The frequency range covered by this standard goes up to 100 GHz (practically limited up to
110 GHz by precise RF power measurement) and the wavelength band concerned is 0,8 µm to
2,0 µm.

Figure 1 – Definition of "conversion efficiency "
Note 2 to entry: Conversion efficiency k, which depends on modulating signal frequency,is often expressed in dB as
the ratio to the reference conversion efficiency of 1 (ampere per watt). It is well known, however, that dB has two
definitions. One is the optical conversion efficiency k [dB ] calculated from 10×log (∆I /∆P ), and the other is the
o o 10 out in
electrical conversion efficiency k [dB ] calculated from 20× log (∆I /∆P ). As for the conversion efficiency k, the
e e 10 out in
numerator is the amplitude of the electrical output signal, and the denominator is the power of optical input signal.
Therefore, both definitions of dB for conversion efficiency k and k are shown as follows:

k = k [dB ] = 10 ∗log (2)

3.1.2
two-tone lightwave
lightwave that contains two dominant spectral components whose power difference is relatively
small and frequency separation is stable
Note 1 to entry: Undesired spectral components are suppressed significantly. The measurement methods described
in this standard utilize a Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM) for two-tone signal generation, where the MZM is biased at
1
maximum or minimum transmission points (null or full bias) [1] . The suppression ratio of undesired components
depends on the on-off extinction ratio and chirp parameter of the MZM. By using active trimming, high extinction-ratio
and low chirp modulation can be achieved for ideal two-tone generation (see Annex A).
3.1.3
carrier-suppressed
situation when an MZM is biased at its minimum transmission point, the non-modulated carrier
lightwave transmitted through and the two arms of the MZM are cancelled with each other at the
output coupler
Note 1 to entry: The suppression ratio is related to how the two lightwaves in the two arms have the same power and
to their anti-phase at the output coupler.

A PD has a positive-negative (PN) junction which can be illuminated by an optical signal. When
a photon is incident to the PN junction, an electron is excited and an electron-hole pair is
generated. The electron and hole drift to the opposite direction because of the built-in and
reverse-biased voltage at the PN junction, and can be used as an output electric current.

– PD;
– input fibre pigtail (where appropriate);
– input receptacle (where appropriate);
– output RF port (where appropriate);
– bias electrode (where appropriate);
– transimpedance amplifier (where appropriate);
– impedance matching resistor (where appropriate).
4.1.3 Structure
The structure consists of the following (see Figure 2):
– optical input: fibre pigtail or receptacle;
– RF output: coaxial connector, microstrip line, coplanar waveguide, antenna, etc.;
– options: bias electrode, transimpedance amplifier, impedance-matching resistor.

4.2.4.3 Device design
In general, the efficiency of the DFG is rather low. In order to enhance the conversion efficiency,
the device length tends to be long, and phase matching conditions must be satisfied. Moreover,
in order to avoid undesired RF wave radiation, an RF cavity or guiding structure is also required.
5 Sampling for quality control
5.1 Sampling
A statistically significant sampling plan shall be agreed upon by user and supplier. Sampled
devices shall be randomly selected and representative of production population, and shall
satisfy the quality assurance criteria using the proposed test methods.
5.2 Sampling frequency
Appropriate statistical methods shall be applied to determine adequate sample size and
acceptance criteria for the considered lot size. In the absence of more detailed statistical
analysis, the following sampling plan can be employed.
Sampling frequency for evaluation of frequency response: two units at least per manufacturing
lot.

6.2 Measurement condition
6.2.1 Temperature and environment
The measurement should be carried out in a room at a temperature ranging from 5 °C to 35 °C.
If the operation temperature ranges of the measurement apparatuses are narrower than the
above range, the specifications of the measurement apparatuses should be followed. It is
desirable to control the measurement temperature within ±5 °C in order to suppress the
influence of temperature drift of measurement apparatuses to a minimum. The temperature of
the DUT can be changed using a temperature controller, as necessary.
6.2.2 Warming up of measurement equipment
The warming-up time shall be kept to typically 60 min, or the time written in the specifications of
the measurement equipment or systems.
6.3 Principle of measurement method
The method described here is based on the heterodyne principle. A two-tone lightwave
illuminates the DUT as a stimulus signal. The two-tone stimulus lightwave is generated by using
an MZM at null bias or an MZM at full bias with an optical band rejection filter. The average
powers of the input two-tone lightwave and that of the output monotone RF signal are measured,
and the conversion efficiency at the frequency is calculated from them. By changing the
frequency difference between the two tones, the frequency response of O/E conversion
efficiency of the DUT is obtained.
As is well known, an MZM optical output modulated by a monotone RF signal can be expressed
by

P = P
E = E e , ,P = [E ] , and ω = ω − ω (4)
opt n opt ∑ n
∑ n n RF n+1 n
n =∞ −∞
where P is the total average power, and ω is the angular frequency of the modulating RF
opt RF
signal that corresponds to the angular frequency difference between adjacent optical tones. As
an example, two-tone signal generation by an MZM with null-bias is described in 6.4. When

E = E >> E (n ≠ −1,+1) P ≅ E + E = 2E
, and (5)

an ideal well-balanced optical two-tone consisting of P (see 6.4) can be generated, where the
±1
following conditions should be satisfied:
a) suppression of optical carrier and higher order sidebands should be large enough;
b) frequency difference between the two desired components should be stable;
c) polarizations of the two spectral components should be well aligned;
d) power difference of the two spectral components should be small enough.
The instantaneous optical power P illuminating the PD is calculated as
