“…[2−4] At present, several optical techniques have been proposed to generate mm-wave carriers, including sideband injection locking, [5,6] mode-locked lasers, [7] optical phase locking ring [8] and external modulation. [9,10] Among the various methods proposed so far, sideband injection locking is able to generate microwave carriers with high spectral purity and the system based on it has demonstrated high stability and tunability for the carriers. [11] Meanwhile, sideband injection locking offers the potential to fabricate monolithic integrated devices for rf carrier generation.…”
