摘要: A novel approach to generate continuously tunable microwave and millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signals is proposed experimentally demonstrated based on an optical phase modulator a Brillouin-assisted notch-filtering technique. The strong carrier of the modulated signal deeply suppressed by using stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in dispersion-shifted-fiber ring while sidebands keep unchanged. Therefore, only even-order electrical harmonics exist at output photodetector. As this SBS-assisted carrier-filter narrow bandwidth wavelength-independent, wavelength-flexible way generation mm-wave can be successfully realized.
