Abstract

In this work, a new approach is introduced to generate 240 GHz millimeter-wave signals using dual Parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators only. 216 GHz, 240 Ghz, 264 GHz and 288 GHz can be generated by tuning the input frequency of local oscillator to 18 Ghz, 20 GHz, 22 GHz and 24 GHz individually. By properly setting of the MZM biasing point, RF LO frequencies and phases shift, eighths order optical sidebands are generated with OSSR of 36.7 dB. At the photo detector 12 tupled frequencies are obtained with RFSSR of 30.01 dB. Further, the performance of generated 240 GHz is investigated by modulated the generated signals with baseband signal of 10 Gbps and 20 Gbps by using electro Absorption modulator. The max Q factor of different transmission distance is measured and analyzed.
