Abstract
Techniques for optical generation of microwave signals to 35 GHz, including direct laser diode modulation, FM sideband injection locking of laser diodes, and offset frequency phase locking of solid-state lasers, are reviewed. Optical methods for controlling microwave devices, including phased array radar and oscillators, are described. Recent advances in optical transmission of microwave signal are examined.<>
