Abstract

Microwave photonics is the practical application of electromagnetic waves with a wavelength between one millimeter and one meter. Microwaves are important for communications, and systems for detecting microwaves are crucial for astronomy. The term also includes high-frequency electronic systems. Using dual wavelength laser source and when these two wavelengths are separated at a desired frequency, microwave signals or mm-wave signals can be generated. These two wavelengths are generated from the same laser cavity for a better phase correlation. There is no need for a microwave reference source.
