Abstract
The simple optical single-sideband (OSSB) modulator for fiber-radio applications was discussed. It avoids the electrical carrier suppression effect that is induced by chromatic dispersion of the optical fiber used in as transmission medium. The OSSB modulator design was demonstrated using a commercial travelling-wave Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator. It was shown that it is feasible to generate OSSB modulation by combining a conventional electroabsorption or electro-optic modulator and passive fiber optic components.
