In an optical transmitter which modulates a continuous-wave optical carrier with an electrical data pulse, the carrier is modulated with a clock signal having ½n (where n is an integer equal to or greater than unity) of the frequency of a fundamental sinusoidal component of the data pulse so that the modulated carrier contains at least a center frequency spectral component. On the modulated optical carrier a filtering operation is performed so that the filtered carrier contains a carrier frequency component and first sideband components. Before or after the clock modulation is performed, the data pulse is used to perform data modulation on the optical carrier.
