Abstract :
We propose a new technique of generating optical single sideband (SSB) signals using an injection-locked semiconductor laser (SL). The injection-locked SL acts as an optical filter which filters out the undesired mode from the double sideband signals. 30 GHz optical SSB signals with our scheme are successfully generated.
