Abstract
We propose and demonstrate optical frequency comb generation with good spectral flatness, using a conventional Mach-Zehnder modulator asymmetrically dual-driven by large-amplitude sinusoidal signals with different amplitudes. 120-GHz bandwidth, 10-GHz spacing frequency comb was experimentally generated
