For enhanced high-capacity communication, the World Radiocommunication Conference 2019 (WRC-19) has decided to utilize terahertz waves in the 275 - 450 GHz range for wireless applications. This decision underscores the critical importance of developing reliable terahertz wave sources. A known method for generating terahertz waves involves photomixing two different light wavelengths using a uni-travelling carrier photodiode (UTC-PD). In our work, we demonstrate the generation of a 300 GHz signal employing a soliton comb, a state of the microresonator frequency comb. Notably, we achieved error-free intensity modulation (bit-error rate (BER) < 10-9) at a transmission rate of 10 Gbit/s.
