Abstract :
New methods for optical millimeter wave generation are presented. They apply a harmonic oscillator stabilized to an optically transmitted subharmonic reference signal by a frequency division PLL. A 94 GHz signal was generated using both injection and phase locking techniques. The new approaches utilize inexpensive photonic components and exhibit low sensitivity to the fiber dispersion.
