Abstract :
The optical generation of millimeter-wave (MMW) signals has been attracting much interest for many applications, such as broadband wireless communications and optical beam forming, because of its flexibility in generating high-frequency signals. We demonstrate a new technique which utilizes the locking of four-wave-mixing (FWM) conjugates produced in a DFB semiconductor laser by the light injection from another DFB laser
