Abstract :
A new microphotonic millimetre-wave receiver architecture with direct electrical-to-optical conversion is presented. The receiver uses high-Q RF and microphotonic electro-optic resonators which are operated in simultaneous resonance. Numerical simulations indicate that efficient modulation of an optical carrier at RF in the millimetre-wave range can be realised
