本论文主要研究用于光纤无线电和其他应用的高质量毫米波信号的光域产生。所描述的锁模毫米波光发射机基于简单的电光微片激光器技术。发射机可以设计为在几GHz到100 GHz及更高频率范围内工作。激光器的剩余相位噪声在1 kHz偏移处低于-100 dBc/Hz，这使得它非常适合于光馈毫米波无线应用。该发射机的一个关键特性是其简单性，它采用的元件数量非常少，以及毫米波和光子元件的高度集成，从而实现了小型，坚固和可靠的封装。本文介绍了发射机的设计，制造和实验评估。
This paper is concerned with the optical domain generation of high-quality millimeter-wave signals for fiber-radio and other applications. The mode-locked millimeter-wave optical transmitter described is based on simple electrooptic microchip laser technology. The transmitter can be designed to operate from a few gigahertz to 100 GHz and beyond. The residual phase noise of the laser is below -100 dBc/Hz at 1-kHz offset, which makes it well suited for optically fed millimeter-wave wireless applications. A key feature of the transmitter is its simplicity, the very small number of elements it employs and the high level of integration of the millimeter-wave and photonic components that results in a small, rugged, and reliable package. The paper describes the design, fabrication, and experimental evaluation of the transmitter.
