Abstract
In this paper, based on period-one oscillation in vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSELs) subject to optical injection, a
novel millimeter-wave generation method is proposed and investigated. The results show that the optical spectrum of optical
millimeter-wave consists of only two main components namely single sideband, which is helpful for overcoming the power
penalty due to optical fiber dispersion. Through adjusting the injection strength and the frequency detuning between
master-VCSEL and slave-VCSEL, optical millimeter-wave with different frequency can be obtained.
