Definitions
- the present invention provides an optical frequency control device using a modulation signal source in which an arbitrary waveform generator and an electric signal frequency multiplier are combined in order to make the modulation signal applied to the SSB modulator ultra-high speed and wide range. And so on.
- An optical single sideband (S S B) modulator is known as an optical frequency control device.
- the optical SSB modulator is an optical modulator that can obtain output light shifted by the frequency of the modulation signal (S. Shimotsu, S. Oikawa, T. Saitou, N. Mitsugi, K. Kubodera, T Kawanishi and M. ⁇ tsutsu, Single Side-Band Modulation Performance of a LiNb03 Integrated Modulator Consisting of Four-Phase Modulator Wavegate, "IEEE Photon. Tech. Lett., Vol. 13, 364-366 (2001) See 1 and 2).
- Frequency control technology using optical SSB modulators is characterized by relatively high accuracy and control with excellent stability.
- the speed at which the optical frequency is swept using an optical SSB modulator is limited by the sweep speed of the modulation signal, which is an electrical signal.
- the sweep speed was limited.
- the FM modulator can sweep the frequency at a relatively high speed, but the frequency change width is as narrow as several tens of OMHz. Therefore, in any case, since signal control with high sweep speed and wide frequency range cannot be achieved, there is a problem that the frequency control technology of the optical SSB modulator cannot achieve both.

Based on the knowledge that optical SSB modulation can be controlled at high speed over a wide frequency range by obtaining a modulated electrical signal over a wide frequency range by using a modulation signal source combined with a detector. It is.
- the arbitrary waveform generator can generate electrical signals that have been swept at a high speed, but the frequency band that can be generated is as narrow as less than 50 MHz. Therefore, the electric signal generated by this arbitrary waveform generator is expanded in the frequency change range by the electric signal frequency multiplier, thereby realizing a high-speed and wide frequency range modulation signal.
