Abstract
An investigation into harmonic conversion showed that 1.5 µm MQW DFB lasers are very attractive for efficient millimetre wave generation. The generation of 38 GHz with a signal to noise (S/B) better than 50 dB and an output power of more than –31 dBm has been achieved with a modulation power of only 15 dBm at a frequency of 7.6 GHz.Keywords
