Electro-optic microwave-lightwave converter using patch antenna embedded with a narrow gap for optical modulation

New electro-optic microwave-lightwave converters using a patch antenna embedded with a narrow gap are proposed. Basic operations for the conversion from wireless to optical signals were demonstrated at 18 GHz with no external power supply.
