Abstract
In this paper, we investigate the optical power fluctuation of the output in optical comb generator using an optical single sideband (SSB) modulator with a fiber loop. This fluctuation is caused by undesired sidebands of the SSB modulator. We show that the fluctuation can be suppressed by stabilizing the fiber loop length. In experiment, the averaged peak-to-peak power fluctuation of 23 comb outputs was suppressed from 0.86 dB to 0.13 dB.
