Abstract :
Potential nonlinear optronic applications of GaAs MESFET injection planar Gunn diode oscillators have been investigated. The possibilities of upconversion, mixing and injection locking have been theoretically demonstrated. The feasibility of upconversion of a low frequency modulated optical signal to the millimetre wave region is experimentally confirmed
