Investigation of stimulated brillouin scattering for the generation of millimeter wave for radio over fiber system

Radio over fiber (ROF) systems is characterized by having both a fiber optic link and free-space radio path. Such systems are important in a number of applications, including mobile communications, wireless local area networks (LANs), and wireless local loop, etc. However, the growing demand for hig...
