Generation of modulated millimeter and terahertz waves using optical combs

本研究的目的是利用基于马赫-曾德尔调制器的扁平梳状发生器在毫米和太赫兹频率范围内产生高质量的调制信号。该方法依赖于光梳源的频率精度和稳定性。通过对生成信号的评估，该方法可以生成线宽极窄、相位噪声极低的毫米波和太赫兹波。此外，还演示了多载波信号的产生。

The purpose of this research is generation of high quality and modulated signals in the frequency range of millimeter and terahertz by using Mach-Zehnder-modulator-based flat comb generator. This method relies on the frequency accuracy and stability of the optical comb source. By evaluation of generated signals, this method can generate millimeter and terahertz waves with extremely narrow linewidth and low phase noise. Furthermore, generation of multi-carrier signals was demonstrated.
