Generation of microwave and millimeter-wave based on polarization scrambler and polarization maintaining fiber

Abstract

A new method is proposed to generate microwave and millimeter-wave by using polarization scrambler and polarization maintaining fiber (PMF), which is based on the coupling and the interaction between the two polarizations of the initial non-chirp Gaussian optical pulse in PMF. The expressions of the microwave and millimeter-wave are derived by couplemode theory. Moreover, the feasibility is analyzed simulatedly. At last, 0−120 GHz microwave and millimeter-wave can be produced by adjusting system parameter or input pulse duration. The project is of great simplicity, stability and high export efficiency.
