Abstract
The use of a semiconductor laser to act as a microwave local oscillato r and simultaneously to perform mixing with a high frequency electrica l signal is demonstrated experimentally. A particular advantage is tha t this device produces its output as an optical signal suitable for tr ansmission in fibres.
