Description

Has the externally modulated laser optical transmission system that feed-forward noise is eliminated
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of optical transmission system that is used for the analog or digital signal, and in particular, relate to a kind of system that uses the external modulation solid-state laser.In addition, the present invention relates to eliminate in the described system by the many noises that may originate the noise component(s) (white noise) that produces or produce such as the Brownian movement of charge carrier (its and frequency change on the contrary, and so are commonly referred to " 1/f " noise) for example in the semiconductor laser by the bias current or the fluctuation in the thermal environment of laser.
Background technology
Be considered in this technology known being used for the analog intensity of direct modulated luminescence diode of the signal of telecommunication (LED) or semiconductor laser and on optical fiber, transmit for example straightforward procedure of analog signal such as voice and video signal.Have significantly less bandwidth requirement although the advantage of this type of analogue transmission technology is to compare with Digital Transmission such as for example digit pulse code modulated or simulation or pulse frequency modulated, use Modulation and Amplitude Modulation usually the noise and the distortion characteristic of reflector to be proposed comparatively strict requirement.
Owing to these reasons, under the situation that is applied to adopt short transmission link, use direct modulation technique in conjunction with the 1310nm laser with scattered optical fiber link of penetrating.For being applied to metropolitan area and long-distance optical fiber transmission link, the link low-loss requires to use the 1550nm laser of external modulation, crosses very long distance (100km) and high-frequency (surpassing 900MHz) usually.The limiting factor of this type of link may be the conversion from the residual phase noise of laser, and described residual phase noise converts amplitude noise to via the scattering that exists in the optical fiber link.Therefore the present invention is absorbed in the problem of the simple and low-cost system that is provided for the noise removing that is associated with the phase noise of laser, makes simulated optical output can be used for metropolitan area and long-reach optics network, in particular for the analogue transmission of broadband RF signal.
The direct current-modulation of laser also becomes known for the digit optical transmission system, for example dense wave division multipurpose (DWDM) system." DWDM Networks, Devices, and Technology " (IEEEPress, 2003, the 154 pages) referring to (for example) Kartalopoulos.
Except to the desired low noise figure of 1550nm simulated optical transmission system, described system also is necessary for highly linear.In the specific simulating emitter intrinsic distortion to stop linear electrical modulation signal be optical signalling by linear transformation, but cause described distorted signals.These influences are harmful especially for the multichannel video transmission, and described multichannel video transmission requires fabulous linearity in case channel is interfering with each other.The simulated optical system of highly linearization is widely used in commercial analogue system, for example broadcasts TV transmission, CATV, interactive TV and visual telephone transmission.
As alternative to direct current-modulation, the known external modulator that in optical transmission system, uses continuous wave (CW) laser in the prior art.The 5th, 699, No. 179 United States Patent (USP)s are described a kind of feedforward linearized simulated optical reflector of external modulation, and it is used to reduce compound secondary (CSO) distortion component that optical fiber brings out.
To the linearizing research of optics and other non-linear reflector for some time, but proposed solution has shortcoming in practice.The bandwidth that major applications discussed above had is excessive for many actual embodiments.Be used for the complicated system component of linearizing feed-forward technique needs, for example luminous power combiner and a plurality of light source.The quasi-optics feed-forward technique suffers similar complexity problem, and the part that need mate fabulously in addition.Yet as discussed below, the forward direction technology that is used for the phase noise elimination is the practical technique that can use many exploitation good technical to implement.
Before the present invention, use the purpose of the phase noise component that the phase-modulator be coupled to externally modulated laser produces with the various noise sources that are used for eliminating by the semiconductor structure of laser as yet.It should be noted that semiconductor laser represents noise in its amplitude (being commonly referred to relative intensity noise) and its phase place.These noise characteristics are irrelevant with optical maser wavelength basically, but noise can be sentenced the different modes appearance at different wave length in the single mode fibers transmission.The main internal mechanism that causes phase place and amplitude noise is the spontaneous emission in the active region of laser.Because the photon of spontaneous emission does not have given phase relation with those photons that produce via stimulated emission, thereby the amplitude of gained light field and phase place all are affected.Spontaneous emission process is well-known, and has been shown as by the Brownian motion process description, and wherein noise spectrum is constant (white noise) basically in frequency of operation.In the laser outside, for example environmental impacts such as microphone effect, temperature fluctuation and bias current noise also can produce phase noise in light field.These incidents cause the light phase noise usually, and it represents the noise spectrum with " 1/f " correlation.
The present invention manage by feedforward eliminate minimize from the proper phase noise of semiconductor laser and no matter the driving mechanism of noise how.
