Description

A kind of multipoint high-frequency microwave signal generating method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind ofly utilize brillouin effect and annular chamber resonance structure for amplifying to produce multistage Stokes (Stokes) ripple and it is produced the method for high-frequency microwave signal through beat frequency behind the filter; It only needs a Brillouin scattering device just can produce multistage Stokes ripple, produces high-frequency microwave signal through photodetector.The frequency that this method produces microwave is high, frequency is many, 11GHz, and 22GHz, 33GHz ..., range up to 77GHz.Apparatus structure is simple, conversion efficiency is high, be easy to realization, has stronger practical value.
Background technology
Producing high-frequency microwave signal with method of optics is one of key technology in the light-carried wireless system (RoF).At present main photoproduction high-frequency microwave signal method mainly contain photoproduction high-frequency microwave signal method based on external modulator, based on the photoproduction high-frequency microwave signal method of various lasers heterodyne etc.
Based on the photoproduction high-frequency microwave signal method of external modulator, the microwave signal of generation is more stable, so but owing to need to adopt its cost of external modulator than higher.
Photoproduction high-frequency microwave signal method based on the laser heterodyne; Because the coherence from the two-beam of two various lasers is very poor, need to adopt comparatively complicated light phase phase-locked loop (OPLL), the influence that optical injection-locked ways such as (OIL) reduces phase noise usually.
And in the method by the bright people of grade of profound scholar proposition in patent of invention " utilizing optical fiber stimulated Brillouin scattering to produce the method and the device of high-frequency microwave signal " in 2008; The height of the frequency of the microwave signal that produces is closely related with the number of the stimulated Brillouin scattering device that is adopted; If it adopts a stimulated Brillouin scattering device; Then can only produce the microwave signal that frequency is about 11GHz; The microwave signal that produces higher frequency must increase the number of stimulated Brillouin scattering device, the complexity that this has not only increased the realization cost of system but also has improved system.
People such as Park propose utilizes Brillouin scattering, Brillouin to refill and method that Brillouin selects to amplify realizes the method for frequency frequency multiplication; Not only used microwave signal source as the drive source of modulator but also adopted two dish monomode fibers in this method as the Brillouin scattering device; And it can only realize the frequency tripling of microwave signal frequency, and shg efficiency is relatively low.
Therefore, under the prerequisite that does not increase system cost, designing the variable high-frequency microwave signal generating means of microwave signal frequency of a kind of simple structure and generation, is the consideration from cost on the one hand.The light-carried wireless system is as an access network technology, and cost is the factor that must consider.Owing to relate to the problem of frequency up-converted and down conversion, in central office or base station, Millimeter-Wave Source must be arranged, and the Millimeter-Wave Source price is very expensive.On the other hand, millimeter wave is relatively more difficult in the processing in electric territory, faces the electronic bottleneck that can't break through.And use the photoproduction millimeter wave, and not only having the low advantage of phase noise, and because the loss of optical fiber is very little, signal can long-distance transmissions, is convenient to be assigned to far-end and is launched by antenna.
Summary of the invention
Technical problem: the purpose of this invention is to provide a kind of multipoint high-frequency microwave signal generating method, improve the frequency range and the power conversion efficiency that produce microwave signal based on stimulated Brillouin scattering.System constitutes simple, and cost is low, and stability is high, has stronger practical value.
Technical scheme: multipoint high-frequency microwave signal generating method of the present invention may further comprise the steps:
1), based on the sharp deep scattering effect of the cloth dorsad of monomode fiber; It is the stokes light of 0.088nm that the sharp deep scattering effect of cloth produces with respect to the pump light frequency displacement; Based on belt resonant cavity structure for amplifying, make input signal repeatedly get into the Brillouin scattering device, produce multistage stokes light;
2), based on the optical filter of predetermined reflectance spectrum, select 2 or several optical maser wavelength that frequency interval equals the frequency of target microwave signal, and all frequency components are suppressed all except that the optical maser wavelength that is selected;
3), the optical maser wavelength that is selected is carried out beat frequency, produce frequency and be about integral multiple in the some of 11GHz or certain several microwave signal.
Described microwave signal is:
1), when needs produce the microwave signal of single-frequency, design bimodal filter, make the peak-peak of its reflectance spectrum be about the integral multiple of 11GHz or 11GHz at interval;
2), when needs produce the multiple spot microwave signal simultaneously, design the multimodal filter, make the peak-peak of its reflectance spectrum be about the integral multiple of 11GHz or 11GHz at interval.
Beneficial effect: adopting the ring cavity structure to produce multistage Stokes signal only needs a directional coupler, three port circulators and a Brillouin scattering device, has very competitive advantages such as device is few, cost is low.
What extract when effectively solving pump signal and certain one-level or certain Stokes signal; The optical filter of characteristics such as utilization has that rejection ratio height, roll-off characteristic are good, width, Insertion Loss are low, stable height; The pump signal that can be simultaneously peak wavelength be about the 0.088nm integral multiple is at interval come out with certain one-level or certain what Stokes signal extraction; Remaining Stokes signal is then played the effect of filtering, and then produce the higher microwave signal of purity.
Conventional method only can produce the corresponding 11GHz microwave signal of 1 grade of Stokes light, produces high-frequency microwave and must carry out Order Scattering, then needs a plurality of image intensifers.The present invention adopts annular chamber resonance structure for amplifying, only needs 1 image intensifer just can produce a plurality of high-frequency microwave signals.
