Here, we propose and demonstrate the linearization of a Dual-Parallel Mach-Zehnder Modulator by frequency-selectively controlling the phase and amplitude of the carrier utilizing a dual-pump, narrowband stimulated Brillouin scattering scheme. Measurements using a single-mode fiber and chalcogenide waveguides on a chip are presented. As a result, a suppression of third-order distortion terms of 27 dB is experimentally obtained, and a spurious free dynamic range improvement of 9 dB using fiber and 4.5 dB using a chalcogenide chip, respectively. On-chip measurements enable the possibility of a fully integrated system, significantly reducing the overall footprint.8en© 2025 The Author(s)Brillouin scatteringintegrated opticsLinearizationmicrowave photonicsnonlinear optics202510.1109/JLT.2025.354672885219371961
