Abstract :
A novel technique for millimeter-wave (mm-wave) signal generation and optical carrier recovery using a single-longitudinal-mode (SLM) fiber ring laser incorporating an intensity modulator in the laser cavity is presented. An mm-wave signal tunable from 32 GHz to 50 GHz is generated and an optical carrier of -5 dBm is recovered simultaneously at a base station.
