Abstract

A method for generating an optical single sideband signal comprising the steps of splitting an optical field into two parts and introducing a relative phase delay of +/−π/4 radians in each direction of transmission to one of the parts, intensity reflection-modulating each part with electrical signals having a relative phase delay of +/−π/2 radians and then recombining the reflection-modulated signals.
