Summary :

We present low-cost millimeter-wave (MMW) photonic techniques for implementing gigabit/s wireless links. A passive mode-locked laser consisting of a Fabry-Perot laser and a single-mode fiber is used to generate 120-GHz optical MMW signals. We modulated these MMW signals by controlling the bias voltage of the photodiode. The MMW generation and modulation methods do not need expensive photonic components or high-power drivers. A link employing these low-cost photonic techniques achieved 1.25-Gbit/s wireless data transmission.
