Abstract(in English) This paper presents the test methods of optical modulators and standardization activities for them. IEC TC103 National committee has been discussing about industry standard measurement methods for evaluating electro-optic material based Mach-Zehnder (MZ) optical modulators for Radio over Fiber system applications. When the amount of optical modulation index (OMI) is calculated from the half-wavelength voltage measurement results, the intermodulation distortion of the Mach-Zehnder optical modulator can be obtained. A suitable measurement method of the half-wavelength voltage for MZ optical modulators has been discussed in the National committee and international round robin tests were done. The calculation method of the second order intermodulation distortion (IM2) and the third order intermodulation distortion (IM3) are also described.
