    Abstract: An electro-optic system, the electro-optic system that may include an input port that is configured to receive a bandpass signal that conveys information; wherein the bandpass signal is a radio frequency (RF) signal; an optical carrier source that is configured to generate an optical carrier signal having an optical carrier frequency; at least one electrical bias circuit that is configured to generate at least one electrical bias signal; an electro-optic modulation circuit that is linear at the optical field; a manipulator that is configured to (a) receive the at least one electrical bias signal and the bandpass signal, (b) generate, based on the at least one electrical bias signal and the bandpass signal, at least one modulating signal; wherein the electro-optic modulation circuit is configured to modulate the optical carrier by the at least one modulating signal to provide an output optical signal that comprises at least one optical pilot tone and at least one optical sideband that conveys the information.
