Abstract
This work demonstrates the feasibility of optical millimeter-wave signal
generation using frequency 12-tupling. Optical millimeter-wave signal with
two sixth-order optical sidebands are generated using frequency quadrupling
optical millimeter-wave generation along with optical four-wave-mixing. 210-
and 120-GHz two-tone optical signals with optical carrier and undesired
harmonic distortion suppression ratios of 20 and 30 dB are experimentally
demonstrated. The proposed system provides an attractive method for
millimeter-wave applications such as optical up-conversion in
radio-over-fiber (RoF) communication systems at millimeter-wave band,
phase-array antennas, optical sensors, radars, and tera-hertz
applications.
