Title:
APPARATUS FOR GENERATING MULTIPLE WAVELENGTHS
Document Type and Number:
Japanese Patent JP3727529
Kind Code:
B2
Abstract:

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To generate optical signals of multiple wavelengths necessary for wavelength multiplex transmission with an inexpensive constitution by using a method of combining simple sine wave modulations.
SOLUTION: The output of a light source 1 which emits a light beam of a single wavelength is bisected to apply angle modulations of a different modulation index to the divided respective light beams by using the modulating signal of a sine wave or a cosine wave having the same frequency. The polarization planes of both light beams having mutually different modulation indexes are orthogonalized and multiplexed.
