Abstract :
We demonstrate 60 GHz carrier generation and transmission using a two-mode injection-locked Fabry-Perot (F-P) slave laser. The relationship between the power of the generated carriers and the frequency of the reference signal for the injection-locking is also investigated. The RF power-penalty caused by fiber dispersion was within 2.0 dB when the locked modes were transmitted at a distance of 0.5-48 km. Accordingly, the two-mode locked F-P laser can be used in fiber-based millimeter-wave systems.
