Apparatus for millimeter-wave signal generation
Patent
·
OSTI ID:20013886
An opto-electronic integrated circuit (OEIC) apparatus is disclosed for generating an electrical signal at a frequency {ge}10 GHz. The apparatus, formed on a single substrate, includes a semiconductor ring laser for generating a continuous train of mode-locked lasing pulses and a high-speed photodetector for detecting the train of lasing pulses and generating the electrical signal therefrom. Embodiments of the invention are disclosed with an active waveguide amplifier coupling the semiconductor ring laser and the high-speed photodetector. The invention has applications for use in OEICs and millimeter-wave monolithic integrated circuits (MMICs).
