摘要:
It is possible to suppress carrier light with a simple configuration when modulating the carrier light to generate optical sideband components. An optical carrier-suppressed signal generator includes first splitting means used to split input carrier light into two light beams, an optical modulator which modulates one split carrier light beam and outputs light including optical sideband components, a phase modulator which phase-modulates another split carrier light beam, and second or third splitting means used to split the output light of the optical modulator into two light beams. The output light split by the second or third splitting means and the output light of the phase modulator are multiplexed to obtain the amplitude of the signal waveform of optical power, and the optical modulator is controlled such that the obtained value is minimized.
