Optical mixing on fast photodiodes is a potentially convenient method for generating millimetre-wave signals in fibre radio applications. The authors describe multiplication of the modulation frequency of a DFB laser using a periodic optical filter to enable mixing between FM sidebands, and report experimental generation of a 19.2 GHz signal.
