Abstract

Millimeter-wave optical source intended for a distribution network of radio over fiber type. This source comprises a laser (2) coupled to at least one optical fiber (4) to distribute radio signals over fiber, means (12) of controlling the laser so that the latter generates a millimeter-wave carrier, and a dispersive medium (6) coupled to the laser able to shift the carrier phase and consequently an absorption peak appearing in the optical fiber.
