Further, this method further include: it controls the light carrier frequency sweep and repeats the above measurement process in each Frequency point, Obtain the amplitude spectrum response and time delay spectral response of optical device to be measured.
For the ease of public understanding, below with a preferred embodiment and in conjunction with attached drawing come to technical solution of the present invention into Row is described in detail:
As shown in Figure 1, the optical device spectral response measuring device in the present embodiment includes: tunable laser source, intensity tune Device, microwave module, Bias point control device, beam splitter, photodetector 1 and photodetector 2 processed, width phase extraction module, control System and data processing module.Microwave signal (the frequency ω that intensity modulator exports microwave modulee) intensity modulated is in adjustable Light carrier (the frequency ω of humorous laser source output0) on, intensity modulator is biased in by minimum transfer by Bias point control device Operating point, generate carrier wave inhibit, the repressed light double-sideband signal of even order sideband, then two-way is divided by beam splitter, all the way for Reference arm directly converts optical signals to reference arm electric signal by photodetector 2;It is all the way test road, detectable signal is first After optical device to be measured transmission, then inputs photodetector 1 and convert optical signals to test road electric signal, width phase extraction module (vector network analyzer is used in the present embodiment) is with 2 ω in reference arm electric signaleComponent extracts test road electricity as reference 2 ω in signaleComponent;Control and data processing module are to extracted 2 ωeComponent information is handled, and can be obtained to be measured Optical device is in optical carrier frequency ω0The amplitude response and DELAY RESPONSE information at place;Change tunable laser source output optical signal Wavelength simultaneously repeats the above process, and the amplitude spectrum response and time delay spectral response of optical device to be measured can be obtained.
In order to make the public be more clearly understood that technical solution of the present invention, the measuring principle of Fig. 1 shown device is carried out below It is discussed in detail:
This programme, in the intensity modulator of minimum transfer point, the rf-signal modulation of low frequency is swashed to tunable using work On the light carrier of light device output, the light modulating signal of suppressed carrier is generated.The power for controlling radiofrequency signal makes modulator work exist In the case of the small index of modulation, at this point, the influence of negligible high-order sideband.Thus, the light modulating signal of output is represented by
E1(t)=A1exp(j(ω0e)t)+A1exp[j(ω0e)t]
(1)
Wherein, A1It is the complex magnitude of ± 1 rank sideband of carrier suppressed signal.And ωoAnd ωeRespectively light carrier and radio frequency The angular frequency of signal.Spectrum comparison in Fig. 1 at two positions a, b is as shown in Figure 2.
After beam splitter, carrier wave inhibits optical signal to be divided into test road and reference arm, and test road is inputting device to be measured Optical signal before part is
Ein(t)=A1'exp[j(ω0e)t]+A1'exp[j(ω0e)t] (2)
Wherein, A1' it is the complex magnitude for measuring ± 1 rank sideband in road.After device under test, which carries device to be measured Part transfer function H (ω) information, may be expressed as:
Eout(t)=A1'H(ω0e)exp(j(ω0e)t)+A1'H(ω0e)exp[j(ω0e)t]
(3)
Wherein H (ω0e) and H (ω0e) it is device under test in ω0eAnd ω0eOn frequency response.Using Photodetector carries out square law detection to optical signal, and the transfer function information taken is transferred to electrical domain.Due to width Phase Receiver Module only receives 2 ωeFrequency component, thus the photoelectric current received are as follows:
I (t)=η | A1'|2H(ωoe)H*oe)exp(2jωet) (4)
Wherein, η is the transfer efficiency of photodetector, and (4) formula is written as frequency domain form:
I(2ωe)=η | A1'|2H(ωoe)H*oe) (5)
It is reference with the photoelectric current of reference arm, width phase extraction module can obtain the amplitude and phase information of the photoelectric current.For Influence of the measuring system to measurement result is eliminated, the amplitude and phase response letter of measuring system is obtained by the way of thru calibration Breath (it is not connected to optical device to be measured in test road, and beam splitter output end detection light is directly inputted into photodetector 1, And measure 2 ω of test road at this timeeFrequency component photoelectric current).In this case, the expression formula of photoelectric current is
Ical(2ωe)=η | A1'|2 (6)
Due to ωeMuch smaller than the swept frequency interval of laser, the amplitude at similar frequency is equal
|H(ω0e)|≈|H(ω0e)|≈|H(ω0)| (7)
By the available amplitude response of (5)~(7) formula are as follows:
DELAY RESPONSE can also be obtained from (5), (6) formula:
Wherein, ang () is the function for seeking angle, for plural A=a*exp (j θ), defines ang (A)=θ.
The frequency sweep process of control and data processing module control tunable laser source, and width Phase Receiver module is exported simultaneously Amplitude and phase information handled and export optical device to be measured amplitude spectrum response and time delay spectral response.
