A Novel High Frequency, High Bandwidth, Three Phase Mach Zehnder Optical Data Link [Slides]
Inertial Confinement Fusion (ICF) produces high yield, high bandwidth signals that must be sent over large distances. A three phase Mach Zehnder modulator system helps resolve many of the issues faced with measuring these signals. This setup requires a three step reconstruction program. The testing results from OMEGA show this setup was successful and is ready for fielding at Inertial Confinement Fusion, including the National Ignition Facility (NIF).
