High-power photonic transmitter-mixers with integrated Wilkinson power combiner for wireless communication with high data rate (15 Gbps) at W-band

We demonstrate photonic transmitters-mixers integrated with Wilkinson power-combiners. Compared with single-ended operation, double-ended operation exhibits 5.5-dB higher output power over wide frequencies (65-100 GHz). 15 Gbps error-free wireless transmission with 6.6 dBm output at 93 GHz is achieved.
