Abstract
Characteristics of a reference optical frequency spectrum formed in a circuit with a continuous laser and an amplitude modulator with a high modulation index are investigated via numerical modeling. The possibility of forming microwave oscillations of a desired frequency is demonstrated, and the generation of a broadband microwave oscillation at the modulation of two or more lines selected from the optical frequency spectrum is studied.
