Abstract
We propose a novel technique to achieve optical frequency up-conversion in millimeter wave band without any local microwave oscillator. By utilizing injection locking of Febry-Perot Laser diode, a suitable negative dispersion device and polarization interferometer, a 2.5 Gb/s baseband signal is frequency up-conversion to a subcarrier modulation signal at 30.8 GHz.
