Abstract
An optical modulator for generating an optical information signal includes a first modulator that modulates an optical carrier with a clock signal. The optical modulator further includes a filter that suppresses a residual carrier component of modulated optical signals. In addition, the optical modulator includes a second modulator for modulating an optical signal with a non-return to zero data signal. When combined, the first and second modulator and the filter operate to transform an optical carrier signal into an optical information signal that is highly tolerant to dispersion and non-linear effects in optical fibers.
