Using a special broadband high-power pin photodetector (PD) we demonstrate wideband (W-band) and broadband (DC-110 GHz) optical millimeter-wave generation. For wideband operation, we utilized a wavelength-tunable dual-laser setup. Here, the PD output was coupled to a rectangular WR10 waveguide output port and a subsequent limiting W-band amplifier. With this setup, we achieved wideband tunability within the W-band from 69 GHz to 112 GHz with a maximum output power variation below 3 dB and a saturated output power of 0 dBm. The 1dB compression point is about -4 dBm and the dynamic range is about 32 dB. For broadband operation, we have coupled the photodetector to a coaxial W1 output port allowing continuous frequency tunability from DC to 110 GHz with a maximum power penalty of only 6 dB and a maximum output power of -3 dBm. For generating low phase noise optical mm-wave signals, we have used an external modulator instead of the dual-laser. For an optically generated 100 GHz signal we have achieved a phase noise level of about -70 dBc/Hz at 10 kHz offset.","PeriodicalId":115448,"journal":{"name":"2008 International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics jointly held with the 2008 Asia-Pacific Microwave Photonics Conference","volume":"24 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2008-11-05","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115141999","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

A 3-dB linewidth of 16 Hz for this oscillator signal has been measured. An analysis of lateral mode spacing or free spectral range (FSR) as a function of fiber length has been carried out.

Voltage dependent nonlinear responsivity is found to be the limiting factor for the IP3 at low frequency, while the voltage and photocurrent dependent nonlinear capacitance is responsible for the decreasing IP3 with increasing frequency.
