Abstract

With the advent of the network information age, users have higher and higher requirements for the bandwidth and capacity of communication systems. Traditional cellular mobile communications can no longer meet the needs of modern communication systems. It is necessary to find a communication system with larger capacity, higher bandwidth and higher transmission rate. Millimeter wave (MMW) communication has high bandwidth, large capacity and high signal transmission rate. Nowadays, all-optical MMW technology generates high-frequency MMW signals in optical domain, which has become a research hotspot of MMW signal generation technology at home and abroad. In this paper, three typical all-optical MMW generation methods are discussed, including direct modulation method, optical heterodyne method and external modulation method. The advantages and disadvantages of each method are analyzed, and the development prospects of the all-optical MMW generation technology are prospected. It is helpful to research new optical MMW technology in the future.
