Abstract :
A new simple method for an all-optical generation of a radio frequency carrier is presented, which is based on stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) in an optical fibre and the creation of harmonics by double sideband suppressed carrier modulation. For the setup inexpensive standard components of optical telecommunications can be used.
