(This memo is also presented at the 2002 International Topical Meeting on Microwave Photonics, a conference in Awaji Japan, and also appears in the conference digest)

We report the generation of millimeter-wave signals to 158 GHz with phase noise better than -75 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset, by heterodyning of two laser which are optically phase-locked through an Optical Comb Generator.
