Abstract

A prototype of a 160 GHz millimeter-wave (mm-wave) generator is proposed and analyzed. In the scheme, two lasers with 100 GHz frequency interval serve as sources. Then, a frequency 16-tupling feed-forward modulation technique is employed to generate two-phase correlated sidebands with a 160 GHz interval. The desired sidebands can be selected by using optical interleavers. A 160 GHz mm-wave signal free of phase noise can be achieved.
