A low-noise optical frequency converter uses a predetermined microwave electric signal to modulate an input light wave and output a light wave that includes a first-order upper-sideband or lower-sideband and a third-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband. The frequency converter modulates a light wave identical to the input light wave with a signal having a frequency that is three times that of the microwave signal, to form a first light wave having a first-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband. The first light wave is mixed with a second light wave having a first-order upper-sideband or lower-sideband and a third-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband, with a phase of the third-order lower-sideband or upper-sideband reversed to a phase of the first light wave, thereby suppressing third-order sidebands.

A multiple-wavelength optical modulation apparatus in which with respect to a natural number n that is not higher than a number N of modulation signals that is not lower than a number of input lightwaves, fn is input light component of channel n, Fn is modulation frequency, An is a lower sideband order and Bn is an upper sideband order corresponding to sideband channels generated by modulation, the apparatus comprises: an input filter, an optical modulator and an output filter on a single optical path; A lightwave input through an input filter is reflected between the input filter and an output filter, being modulated during each round trip, and is output via the output or input filter when the light has reached a frequency determined by the output or input filter. The time required for each light component of channel n to make a round trip is an integer multiple of one period of each modulation signal having a frequency Fn (=1/Fn). A light component travelling in one direction is reverse phase modulated when the round-trip time is an odd multiple of one period (=1/Fn), and a light component travelling in both directions is in phase modulated when the time required for the light component to travel both ways is an even multiple of one period (=1/Fn).

Optical signals input via the input section are divided into a plurality of optical paths at a branching point and phase modulated by the phase modulator, that divides the optical path into a plurality of optical paths. Light transmitted by the filter is output via the output section, while light reflected by the filter travels back along the optical path and is again phase modulated by the phase modulator combined at the branching point and output from the input section as an intensity modulated optical signal.
