Description of drawings
The filter feedback multiplexed light-operated microwave beam of millimeter wave subcarrier of Fig. 1 forms the basic structure of network.
Embodiment
Basic principle of the present invention is: multiplexing by to the filter both forward and reverse directions, make the wide spectrum light source spectral pattern in the beam-forming network obtain shaping optimization, its amplification efficient in EDFA is greatly improved, and then improve in the whole link the effectively power level of spectrum, reach the raising energy utilization efficiency, new departure can effectively improve signal to noise ratio under identical system power, can support than the more massive array of common time delay network.The basic structure of this beam-forming network as shown in Figure 1.
The wide range light that sends by wide spectrum light source among Fig. 1, at first enter wavelength and select Multiplexing module, this module selects the mixer of a multiplexing branch road and a N:1 to constitute in succession successively by beam splitter, the N bar wavelength of a 1:N, wide range light is divided into N branch road by the 1:N beam splitter, each branch road all enters 1 port of this branch road circulator, enter filter by the 2 ports output from circulator behind the circulator, obtain the signal spectrum on this road, then the mixer of the signal spectrum on each road by N:1 is combined into a rood and behind pectination spectrum, selects Multiplexing module output by wavelength.2 ports of a circulator of output back pectination spectrum input.Enter EDFA after the 3 ports output of pectination spectrum through circulator and amplify, the spectrum after the amplification is through a modulated microwave signal that goes up of M-Z modulator.Pectination spectrum after this modulation is by behind the dispersion element, and different spectrum peaks has obtained different chromatic dispersion group delays.Again by after the EDFA amplification, enter 1 port of circulator by the pectination spectrum behind the dispersion element, select Multiplexing module by being input to wavelength again again after the output of 2 ports.Pectination spectrum is assigned to inverse filtering on each filter in wavelength selection Multiplexing module, enter into 2 ports of branch road circulator by the remaining spectrum in back, export power equalizer to by 3 ports, balanced each road luminous power makes the luminous power that arrives photodetector equate.Through the detection of photo-detector, the light microwave signal is reduced to microwave signal and the emission of process aerial array after the time-delay.
The wide spectrum light source that we adopt be 1530nm to 1560nm, gross power is 100mW, wavelength rises and falls and is not more than 1dB.Such wide range light enters wavelength and selects Multiplexing module, is divided into the N road by the 1:N coupler.Because the effect of circulator and tunable optic filter, a part of spectrum of wide range is filtered off and enters the N:1 coupler and close the road in each road.Closing spectrum behind the road and become the pectination of N the peak value that we need composes.N=4 during experiment, 4 peak wavelengths of the pectination spectrum that obtains are respectively 1553.1nm, 1555.2nm, 1557.3nm and 1559.4nm, the power fluctuation between each wavelength is not more than 1dB.
After selecting Multiplexing module by wavelength, pectination spectrum is amplified into an electrooptic modulator by EDFA, is required the microwave signal modulation of transmission.The pectination spectrum of having modulated microwave signal is admitted to dispersion element, and different spectral components obtains different chromatic dispersion group delays.Here the chromatic dispersion device can be high chromatic dispersion chirped fiber grating, multiple high dispersion waveguide such as high-dispersive photonic crystal fiber.The pectination spectrum that has obtained different chromatic dispersion time-delays enters EDFA once more and is exaggerated.Here EDFA is a power amplification EDFA, and it selects Multiplexing module that enough energy are provided for the pectination spectrum reenters wavelength.Because what EDFA amplified is pectination spectrum, its amplified energy all concentrates on each peak wavelength place in the pectination spectrum.Because what EDFA amplified in the light-operated microwave beam formation of the traditional wide spectrum light source network is even spectrum, what all energy were all average is assigned to above the whole wave band, the overwhelming majority can be gone filtering by back filtering, compare with traditional scheme, the energy of EDFA has all concentrated on the useful peak wavelength in new departure, the energy of overwhelming majority EDFA all has been used to amplify the using light signal in the filter band, their overwhelming majority in once more by filter all can be retained down, makes the system capacity utilization ratio improve greatly.N=4 during experiment, because the non-flatness of EDFA gain spectral pattern, the power that the 3rd EDFA amplifies back each spectral components of pectination spectrum is no longer equal, need level come balanced with the automated power equalizer after system.
Spectrum enters wavelength once more select Multiplexing module after, the coupling pectination spectrum by 1:N is divided into the N road, each road enters filter filtering once more.Obtain the needed spectral components in each road after the filtering.This component is fed to that equilibrium is a constant power value in the light power equalization module.Light signal after the equilibrium is admitted among the PD to be surveyed, and is reduced into the microwave signal after our time-delay, and experiment has obtained eye pattern clearly.
Our system is array extending quantity easily also, only need add that new wavelength selects Multiplexing module just can finish.The light-operated microwave beam of the filter feedback multiplexed millimeter wave subcarrier that has been extended to N=8 successful in the experiment forms network, and has obtained before the EDFA amplification and the spectrogram after the 3rd EDFA amplification.
