240 GHz active modelocked laser diode

A 240 GHz optical millimetre-wave (nun-wave) signal is generated by an active modelocked laser diode (MLLD) integrated with a high-mesa electroabsorption modulator. The linewidth of the generated signal is less than 10 Hz. A -11 dBm mm-wave signal at 240 GHz was also generated using the active MLLD and a uni-travelling-carrier photodiode.
