Optical generation of millimeter-wave signals for fibre-radio system using Bragg gratings as filters

A new optical heterodyning method based on the Fiber Bragg Grating Filters is proposed. Because the two optical waves for heterodyning are filtered from a single laser, this technique can eliminate the phase noise of the usual optical heterodyning technology and the system performance is improved. With the simulation results, the system's transmission performance of the optical millimeter wave by the new method is verified.
