Abstract

We investigate and discuss stimulated Brillouin scattering in optical fibers for the generation of millimeter waves in theory and experiment. With a derivation of the responsible differential equation system we show that the phases of two independently amplified sidebands of a frequency comb will remain the same. Neither third-order nonlinear effects like self- and cross-phase modulation nor the Brillouin amplification has an influence on the phases. We verify our theoretical predictions with phase noise measurements of the generated millimeter-wave signal. The results show that the generated phase noise is in fact very low.
