Millimeter-wave optical pulse generation using n:1 time multiplexer and temporal Talbot effect

A novel scheme is proposed to generate a millimeter-wave (MMW) optical pulse by combining optical time division multiplexing (OTDM) technology and temporal Talbot effect (TTE). A n:1 time multiplexer is used for OTDM, and an LCFG plays a role of TTE. The basic principle is analyzed by using a Gaussian input short pulse, and its characteristics are discussed by numerical simulation. It is shown that the proposed scheme is feasible for MMW signal generation and has potential merits for practical application of Radio over Fiber (ROF) technology.
