We propose and analyze a frequency 32-tupling scheme which is capable of generating millimeter and terahertz waves without being affected by the phase noise difference between two incoherent sources. In our work, the process of the optical sidebands’ phase noise change is theoretically analyzed and confirmed by simulations. In addition, the system performance in terms of linewidth, tunability, and stability is also investigated.
