Abstract

In this work, a 12-tupling frequency millimeter wave generation scheme based on four-wave mixing (FWM) in a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) is proposed. A dual parallel Mach Zehnder modulator (DPMZM) is used to generate pure 2^nd order optical tones which are sent into a SOA to realize the 2^nd order and 6^th order optical sideband output due to the effect of the FWM. An optical filter is employed to filter out 2^nd order optical tone and the pure 6^th order optical sidebands are obtained. A 12-tupling frequency millimeter wave can be generated by beating the 6^th order optical sidebands in the photodetector (PD). The working principle of the system is analyzed in detail, and the feasibility of the scheme is verified in the simulation results.
