1. An electrooptic source comprising an optical signal generator, optical circuitry, and at least one optical/electrical converter wherein the structure of the source is such that at least the following conditions apply:

  • the optical signal generator comprises a plurality of optical outputs characterized by distinct output frequencies;

    the optical circuitry is configured to permit the selection and combination of different ones of the distinct-frequency optical outputs of the optical signal generator to generate a modulated optical signal characterized by a modulation frequency of at least about 30 GHz;

    the optical circuitry is further configured to direct the modulated optical signal to at least one optical/electrical converter; and

    the optical/electrical converter is configured to convert the modulated optical signal to a millimeter or sub-millimeter wave.
