no. 1 Embodiment approach

[0039] figure 1 It is a figure which shows the structure of the carrier suppression light generation apparatus 1 which concerns on one Embodiment of this invention.

[0040] In this figure, as the frequency f of the input light to the carrier-suppressed optical generator 1 0 The light (carrier light) is branched into two beams 1A and 1B by the branching member 11 a , one beam 1A is input to the optical modulator 10 , and the other beam 1B is input to the phase modulator 12 .

[0041] According to the frequency f generated by the modulation signal generator 15, the optical modulator 10 m modulation signal to modulate the input light 1A. Thus, the output carrier light f is removed from the optical modulator 10 0 In addition, the output includes a different frequency f from the carrier light +1 and f -1 The edge of the light is light. Among them, f +1 = f 0 + f m , f -1 = f 0 -f m . Also, with frequency f m When modulated, a higher order component f also occurs 0 ±...

Abstract

The present invention makes it possible to suppress carrier light with a simple configuration in the process of modulating carrier light and generating sideband light. This carrier-suppressed light-generating device comprises: a first splitting means for splitting inputted carrier light into two; an optical modulator for modulating one of the split carrier lights and outputting light that includes sideband light; a phase modulator for phase-modulating the other of the split carrier lights; and a second or third splitting means for splitting the output light of the optical modulator into two. The output light split by the second or third splitting means and the output light of the phase modulator are converged, whereby the amplitude of the time waveform of the optical power is found and the optical modulator is controlled so that the value thereof reaches a minimum.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a technique for suppressing carrier light when the carrier light is modulated to generate sideband light. [0002] this application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2011-217794 for which it applied to Japan on September 30, 2011, The content is used here. Background technique [0003] In an optical communication system in which signals are carried on light and propagated through optical fibers, an optical intensity modulator that modulates the intensity of laser light emitted from a light source to generate an optical signal is used. Light intensity modulators in, for example, lithium niobate (LiNbO 3 , hereinafter abbreviated as LN) and other electro-optical crystal substrates are formed with Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguides, modulation electrodes and bias electrodes. [0004] The Mach-Zehnder type optical waveguide has a waveguide structure composed of: a branch part that branches the inp...
