“…As a result, strong high-order harmonics may be generated due to the pronounced nonlinearities of the EAM [9]. When two cascaded EAMs are used for the mmwave generation, to maximize the desired optical sidebands and minimize the undesired ones can be obtained by optimizing the bias and RF modulation voltage [9]. The mechanism of the proposed technique is to suppress first-order optical sidebands and maximize the second-order sidebands, in order to efficiently generate mm-wave signal for frequency doubling and quadrupling.…”

We propose a novel photonic millimeter-wave (mmwave) generation technique using two cascaded ElectroAbsorption Modulators (EAMs). The two cascaded EAMs are driven by the same low radio frequency (RF) signal but with certain phase shift to suppress odd-order optical sidebands and enhance second order sidebands to obtain frequency doubling and quadrupling. It is shown that RF modulation voltage, phase shift between the two EAMs, and their bias voltages are the keys to be adjusted to efficiently generate high quality mm-wave signal. Experimental proof of concept is also demonstrated.
