Abstract:
Disclosed herein is a dual parallel Mach-Zehnder-modulator (DPMZM) device comprising a DPMZM  10  having first and second inner MZMs arranged parallel to each other. The first inner MZM generates an in-phase component E I  of an optical signal in response to a first driving voltage V I , and the second inner MZM generates a quadrature component E Q  of said optical signal in response to a second driving voltage V Q . Further disclosed is a calculation unit  52  configured for receiving an in-phase component y I  and a quadrature component y Q  of a desired base-band signal, and for calculating pre-distorted first and second driving voltages V I , V Q . The calculation of the pre-distorted first and second driving voltages V I , V Q  is based on a model of said DPMZM  10  accounting for I-Q cross-talk, and using an algorithm that determines said first and second driving voltages V I , V Q  each as a function of both of said in-phase and quadrature components y I , y Q  of said base-band signal.

Claim (Index 7):
The DPMZM device of  claim 1  wherein\n said DPMZM device further comprises an AC-coupling for coupling first and second driving voltages V I , V Q  as calculated by the calculation unit to the respective first and second inner MZMs, and \n wherein first and second biasing electrodes are associated with the first and second inner MZMs, respectively, \n said first and second biasing electrodes being adapted to apply first and second bias components to said first and second inner MZMs, wherein preferably said first and second bias components at least approximately account for corresponding DC-components of the driving voltages V I , V Q , as calculated by the calculation unit.
