摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for generating a single-sideband optical signal. According to the method, as data signals having a 90-degree phase difference with respect to input data signals, which are NRZ signals at 10 Gb/s, 0.5-bit delay data signals are generated by a 0.5-bit delay circuit for obtaining a delay corresponding to π/2 of the bit period of the input data signal. An SSB optical signal produced from the data signals and the 0.5-bit delay data signals is generated through an optical filter. Further, to eliminate a residual intensity-modulated component, the generated SSB optical signal is fed back to appropriately adjust the center frequency of the optical filter. The carrier output frequency of a semiconductor laser can be adjusted instead of the center frequency of the optical filter. When an RZ signal is used as an input data signal, a 0.25-bit delay circuit is used.

A resonance type optical modulator includes an optical path having electro-optical effect characteristics, a modulation electrode formed along the optical path for applying an electric field to the optical path, a common electrode formed in opposition to the modulation electrode, a feeding line that is connected to the modulation electrode and stubs connected to the feeding line, wherein the feeding line, stubs and common electrode are provided on one side of a region that is divided by the modulation electrode. A specific example is a resonance type optical modulator using a symmetric or an asymmetric electrode, that includes an optical path having electro-optical effect characteristics, a first stub (an open stub) (an open-ended asymmetric coplanar waveguide) or a short stub (a short-ended asymmetric coplanar waveguide), a second stub (an open or short stub) connected to the first stub, a feeding line connected to the first and second stubs and a common electrode, wherein the first and second stubs are formed along a single optical path to comprise a modulation electrode for applying an electric field to the optical path. As a result, the modulator has a configuration easy to fabricate without damaging the effective modulation field strength applied to the optical path, making it possible to realize high modulation efficiency with a low level of electric power.
