“…When two sources are used, continuous tunability is provided, but to obtain good phase noise characteristics of the generated signal complex optical phase-locked loops (OPLL) are needed to correlate the noise from both sources and attain a stable THz signal. In the case of using one source, this can be a dual-mode structure [21], where very limited tunability is offered, or a multimode optical source 0733-8724/$31.00 © 2012 IEEE (optical frequency combs), where discrete tunability (multiples of the fundamental repetition frequency) is provided using high selective optical filtering [22] or optical injection locking (OIL) [23] to select two modes from the optical spectrum. As the optical modes used for the THz signal generation are phase-locked and a narrow optical linewidth can be used, extremely low noise and narrow THz signals can be generated.…”

“…Nevertheless there are other devices, with much higher integration potential, that can be used as OFCG as are mode-locked laser diodes (MLLD) [22] or more recently, high-Q silicon-nitride spiral resonators [25]. While the latter resonators don't offer good phase noise characteristics and are not mature enough for integration, MLLDs are devices that can be integrated as PICs and are able to offer extremely low phase noise at less than 1 MHz offset from the carrier both under passive [26] regime and specially under active or hybrid regime [26].…”

“…Integrated passively mode-locked semiconductor lasers are robust and compact sources for generating coherent optical frequency combs which are of great interests in communications, metrology, spectroscopy and millimeter wave/terahertz (mmW/THz) generation [1][2][3]. Unlike other optical frequency comb generation techniques, it does not require any external RF source or optical pump.…”
