摘要： An electro-optical single-sideband modulator (1) comprising:
• an electro-optical substrate (2) ;
• a bimodal optical waveguide structure (3) formed in the substrate (2) to support different optical modes having associated optical frequencies (ω S , ω A ) and optical propagation constants (β S , β A ) and comprising an optical input (IN) to receive an input optical carrier signal having an optical frequency (ω S ), and a pair of optical outputs (OUT1, OUT2) to output corresponding SSB modulated optical signals, each having an optical frequency spectrum with a single side lobe; and
• an electrode structure (4) formed on the substrate (2) to receive an input electrical modulating signal having an associated electrical frequency (Ω) and electrical propagation constant (β Ω ), and to responsively apply an electrical field to the bimodal optical waveguide structure;
wherein the bimodal optical waveguide structure (3) and the electrode structure (4) are so formed that the optical propagation constants (β S , β A ) of the optical modes and the electrical propagation constant (β Ω ) of the electrical modulating signal meet a Phase Matching condition, according to which the optical propagation constant (β A ) of a first one of the optical modes is equal to the sum of the optical propagation constant (β S ) of a second one of the optical modes and the electrical propagation constant (β Ω ) of the electrical modulating signal, so resulting in the energy of the first optical mode being transferred at least partially to the second optical mode, and, as a consequence, in the optical frequency (ω A ) of the second optical mode being equal to the optical frequency (ω S ) of the first optical mode up-shifted of the electrical frequency (Ω) of the electrical modulating signal.
