Abstract
A novel 'frequency quadrupling' technique for the optical generation a nd delivery via fibre of modulated 60GHz band millimetre-wave signals is described. The technique requires only microwave frequency capabili ty for the optical modulator and drive electronics, and these are read ily available commercially. The frequency quadrupling technique is dem onstrated experimentally with a high spectral purity 60GHz signal obta ined using a 15GHz source and optical modulator.
