Abstract
A new technique for the optical generation of high-power microwave fre quency mixing is described, using a frequency-modulated semiconductor laser and an interferometer. Better conversion than with classical tec hniques is obtained thanks to the entirely passive nature of the optic al circuits needed for mixing and inserted into the optical link.
