A system and methods for electro-optical modulation are presented. A first optical signal and a second optical signal are optically coupled to produce a local oscillator signal propagated in two signal paths. The local oscillator signal in the first signal path and the second signal path is electro-optically phase modulated with a radio frequency electrical signal to produce a first phase modulated optical signal and a second phase modulated optical signal respectively. The first phase modulated optical signal and the second phase modulated optical signal are optically coupled to produce an intensity modulated signal comprising an RF frequency of the radio frequency electrical signal frequency mixed by a local oscillator frequency of the local oscillator signal. |
