Abstract :
In this paper, we report the generation of microwaves by mixing two optical signals coming from two different lasers one of them being multi-longitudinal. The generated microwaves, in a range of 1-25 GHz, can be used as information carriers which can be modulated and transmitted through long distance radio-fiber links.
