“…State‐of‐the‐art MLL devices were extensively characterized for HML and mm‐wave phase shifting for applications in phased array antenna and smart‐antenna beam forming systems. Recently, wireless HML for mm‐wave modulated wireless data transmission, self‐oscillating mixer , and photonic active integrated antenna techniques were demonstrated for use in next‐generation 60‐GHz RoF systems. Optical fibers can be used to distribute mm‐wave modulated radio signals from these MLLs over long distances for gigabit per second Wi‐Fi .…”

An investigation of hybrid mode‐locked lasers is performed to better understand their link gain and locking range behavior under external RF injection for their use in millimeter wave radio‐over‐fiber systems. The dependence of 40‐GHz link gain on different parameters is initially identified and then the three main parameters of gain and saturable absorber section biases and external RF injection signal power are studied in detail. It is found that higher injection power leads to lower link gain ranging from −19dB to −22dB, whereas lower injection power gives higher link gain ranging from −10dB to −19.9dB. This article also reports a hybrid mode‐locking range of 90.97 MHz which is the widest reported so far for the technique used here. © 2013 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
