Abstract
This paper concerns an optically generated rapidly tunable millimeter wave source. The millimeter wave signal is generated by beating the output of two Nd:YVO/sub 4//MgO:LiNbO/sub 3/ single mode microchip laser sections realized monolithically in a single composite crystal. The device can be tuned from DC to 100 GHz. The measured tuning sensitivity is 8.8 MHz/V, and the tuning rate is over 10 THz/s.
