Microwave and Terahertz Generation Based on Photonically Assisted Microwave Frequency Twelvetupling With Large Tunability

A novel approach to achieving photonically assisted microwave frequency twelvetupling with large frequency tunability is proposed and demonstrated. The frequency twelvetupling is realized through a joint operation of polarization modulation, four-wave mixing, and stimulated-Brillouin-scattering-assi...
