A novel method for generating quadruple-frequency millimeter-wave (MMW) by using an actively mode- locked fiber ring laser is proposed and demonstrated.In this approach,the optical Mach-Zehnder intensity modulator (MZM) is biased to suppress the odd-order optical sidebands,the fiber laser operates in the second-order rational harmonic mode,and a fiber Bragg grating (FBG) notch filter is used to block the optical carrier.When the MZM is driven by a fixed radio-frequency (RF) source of 10 GHz,a stable MMW signal of 40 GHz with the phase noise better than-76 dBc/Hz at 1-kHz offset is generated.
