1962 Appl. Optics 1 51/1 This paper reports the observation of microwave signals produced by photomixing of near-neighbour axial mode components in the output spectrum of a ruby optical maser.
1985 Jrnl. Lightwave Technol. 3 992 A radiofrequency (RF) signal at 125 MHz is generated via photomixing at the output of a single-mode fiber-optic interferometer.
2003 Proc. SPIE (Internat. Soc. Optical Engin.) 5468 74 Photomixing in laser-assisted field emission offers promise as a new mechanism for generating terahertz radiation.
