Abstract

Most important application of optical modulators is conversion of electric signals into lightwave signals. This is indispensable to highspeed optical links. However, recently, we need new functions such as optical label processing at nodes, signal timing control to prevent packet collision, etc. In this paper, we describe advanced optical modulators designed for the photonic sideband management techniques, such as resonant-type modulators for effective optical sideband generation, reciprocating optical modulators for photonic millimeter-wave generation, and optical frequency-shift-keying modulators for optical packet labeling.
