Patent abstract
An optical modulation apparatus for modulating an electromagnetic (e.g., radio frequency (RF)) signal onto an optical carrier signal may be arranged to feed back at least a portion of the optical carrier signal, while excluding first-order sidebands, which may help increase modulation efficiency and improve output power, while retaining high modulation bandwidth. Such arrangements may be implemented, for example, using a Fabry-Perot resonator or a ring resonator in combination with a Mach-Zehnder interferometer or a Michelson interferometer.
