## Abstract Polarization maintaining fiber in a Sagnac interferometer is used to generate optical single sideband (OSSB) that can overcome the power penalty brought by optical double sideband modulation in fiber links. This OSSB modulation used in true time delay (TTD) can form digital TTD and over

Abstract
We propose an optical single sideband (OSSB) modulation scheme using stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in fiber to achieve OSSB modulation. Drive with 10.87‐GHz radio frequency signal into Mach–Zehnder modulator (MZM). Because of the SBS effect, lower sideband of modulated signal is amplified and upper sideband is attenuated as well. By properly adjust the phase shifter for phase difference between the two paths of electrical signal. Output signal is OSSB format, after 25‐km SMF transmission, we can observe good system performances including sideband power ratio and phase noise using by an optical spectrum analyzer and an electrical spectrum analyzer. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

## Abstract We propose a simple and compact all‐optical on–off switch working at 10 Gb/s. The operation of the switch is based on four‐wave mixing in only 1.9 m of bismuth‐based highly nonlinear fiber. The proposed switch has a fast response time, high ON/OFF switching ratio, and potential to work
