Embodiment Construction

[0037] The solutions of the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.

[0038] The scheme principle of the present invention is as Figure 4 shown. One input terminal of the electric combiner is connected to the radio frequency RF signal, the other input terminal is connected to the local oscillator signal, and the output terminal of the combiner is connected to the RF input terminal of the Mach-Zehnder modulator; the radio frequency RF signal and the local oscillator signal are electrically combined together to modulate the optical signal. The modulator bias is controlled at the carrier suppress point. The modulated optical signal enters the optical circulator and the fiber grating (the two are combined as a wavelength selective switch), where the reflection wavelength of the fiber grating is the optical carrier wavelength of the laser, so that the optical carrier is reflected back into the photodetector PD an...
