Abstract :
We demonstrate a fully integrated tunable continuous-wave (CW) millimeter wave heterodyne synthesizer. DFB lasers, SOA amplifiers, passive waveguides, beam combiners, high speed photodetectors have been integrated on the same InP-based platform. Millimeter wave generation up to 110 GHz has been demonstrated.
