Abstract :
We propose the use of optical frequency multiplication as a cost-effective method to optically generate wireless radio frequencies (RFs) and deliver them from a central station to remote radio access units. In this paper, a theoretical analysis for the parameters affecting the intensity of the generated harmonics is investigated. Simulation results show that the generation of high order harmonic components requires a greater frequency modulation index.
