Abstract
Abstract—We calculate the impact of nonlinearity in an MUTC photodetector on an RF-modulated frequency comb, taking into account bleaching (gain saturation). An RF-modulated frequency comb is characterized by a distinct IMD2ₙ and IMD3ₙ and hence a distinct OIP2ₙ and OIP3ₙ for each comb line n
