基于硫系玻璃光纤四波混频效应的毫米波生成系统及方法Millimeter wave generation system and method based on four-wave mixing effect of chalcogenide glass fiber

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及一种光生毫米波生成技术,尤其是涉及一种基于硫系玻璃光纤四波混频效应的毫米波生成系统及方法。The invention relates to an optically generated millimeter wave generation technology, in particular to a millimeter wave generation system and method based on the four-wave mixing effect of a chalcogenide glass fiber.

背景技术Background technique

光纤通信具有低损耗、高带宽的特性,光纤无线电(ROF)技术是应高速大容量无线通信需求,新兴发展起来的将光纤通信和无线通信相结合起来的无线接入技术。光纤无线电(ROF)系统构成的具有超带宽的无线接入网络通过光纤实现中心处理站与基站之间远距离的连接,通过微波、毫米波系统实现几十米范围的无线覆盖。目前,许多国家已经将59-64GHz的毫米波段专门分配给无牌照的ROF技术应用,大大推动了毫米波段ROF技术的发展。高质量的毫米波信号生成是实现毫米波段ROF系统的关键技术之一。但制作窄线宽、低相位噪声、高稳定性且可调谐毫米波信号发生器时,对工艺的要求极高,毫米波在电域下生成比较困难,面临无法突破的电子瓶颈。除此之外,直接调制毫米波信号的成熟商用电光调制器极其少见而且价格昂贵。因此研究如何利用光学方法产生毫米波段的载波信号一直是毫米波段RoF研究领域中的热点问题。用光学的方法来产生毫米波,一方面是出于成本的考虑,另一方面,毫米波在电域下处理已经比较困难,面临无法突破的电子瓶颈,而用光学产生的毫米波,不仅具有相位噪声低的优点,而且由于光纤的损耗非常小,信号能够远距离传输,便于分配到远端由天线发射。Optical fiber communication has the characteristics of low loss and high bandwidth. Radio over Fiber (ROF) technology is a newly developed wireless access technology that combines optical fiber communication and wireless communication to meet the needs of high-speed and large-capacity wireless communication. The ultra-bandwidth wireless access network composed of the radio-over-fiber (ROF) system realizes the long-distance connection between the central processing station and the base station through optical fiber, and realizes wireless coverage within tens of meters through microwave and millimeter wave systems. At present, many countries have allocated the 59-64GHz millimeter-wave band exclusively to unlicensed ROF technology applications, which has greatly promoted the development of millimeter-wave ROF technology. High-quality millimeter-wave signal generation is one of the key technologies to realize millimeter-wave ROF systems. However, when making a narrow-linewidth, low-phase-noise, high-stability, and tunable millimeter-wave signal generator, the process requirements are extremely high. It is difficult to generate millimeter-wave in the electrical domain, and it faces an electronic bottleneck that cannot be broken through. In addition, mature commercial electro-optic modulators that directly modulate mmWave signals are extremely rare and expensive. Therefore, studying how to use optical methods to generate carrier signals in the millimeter-wave band has always been a hot issue in the field of millimeter-wave RoF research. The use of optical methods to generate millimeter waves is due to cost considerations on the one hand, and on the other hand, millimeter waves are already difficult to deal with in the electrical domain, facing an electronic bottleneck that cannot be broken through, and millimeter waves generated by optics not only have The advantage of low phase noise, and because the loss of the optical fiber is very small, the signal can be transmitted over a long distance, which is convenient for distribution to the remote end and transmitted by the antenna.

目前,光学产生毫米波的技术主要有光外差技术、外调制技术和光学倍频技术等。光外差技术的基本原理是利用两个频率差等于所需毫米波的频率的光载波,在光电探测器中拍频生成毫米波,该方法需要两个光载波的相位非常稳定并相关,实现时需要额外的相位锁定模块,难以获得低相位噪声的高质量毫米波。外调制技术基于外部调制器的非线性响应,产生边带频率,在接收端由边带拍频得到毫米波信号,包括双边带调制、单边带调制和载波抑制调制等。外调制器有马赫-增德尔调制器(MZM)、电吸收调制器和相位调制器等。但是这种方法需要很高频率的调制微波信号源,而高频微波信号源实现难度大,系统成本太高。相对来讲,光学倍频技术更具优势。光学倍频技术借助各种外调制器件及其它一些光学处理器件将低频微波信号调制到光波上,并产生高次谐波光边带,最后通过光电探测器拍频产生目标高频毫米波信号。在这类方案中,倍频产生的毫米波信号的线宽和相位噪声等特性均与调制微波信号保持在相同量级,而与所用的光学器件无关,克服了电子倍频器件响应频率和带宽的限制,而且相位噪声低。与此同时,方案中需要的强度调制器、相位调制器和半导体光放大器等光学器件均为市面上常见的成熟商品化器件,因此方案实现简单且稳定性高,在毫米波ROF系统中比较常见。At present, the technologies for optically generating millimeter waves mainly include optical heterodyne technology, external modulation technology and optical frequency doubling technology. The basic principle of optical heterodyne technology is to use two optical carriers whose frequency difference is equal to the frequency of the required millimeter wave, and beat frequency to generate millimeter waves in the photodetector. This method requires that the phases of the two optical carriers are very stable and correlated to realize When an additional phase-locked module is required, it is difficult to obtain high-quality millimeter waves with low phase noise. The external modulation technology is based on the nonlinear response of the external modulator to generate a sideband frequency, and the millimeter wave signal is obtained from the sideband beat frequency at the receiving end, including double-sideband modulation, single-sideband modulation and carrier suppression modulation. External modulators include Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), electroabsorption modulator, and phase modulator. However, this method requires a high-frequency modulated microwave signal source, which is difficult to implement and the system cost is too high. Relatively speaking, optical frequency doubling technology has more advantages. Optical frequency doubling technology modulates low-frequency microwave signals onto light waves by means of various external modulation devices and other optical processing devices, and generates high-order harmonic optical sidebands, and finally generates target high-frequency millimeter-wave signals through the beat frequency of photodetectors. In this type of scheme, the linewidth and phase noise of the millimeter-wave signal generated by frequency doubling are kept at the same level as the modulated microwave signal, regardless of the optical device used, which overcomes the response frequency and bandwidth of the electronic frequency doubling device. limits with low phase noise. At the same time, optical devices such as intensity modulators, phase modulators, and semiconductor optical amplifiers required in the solution are all mature commercial devices that are common on the market, so the solution is simple to implement and has high stability, which is common in millimeter-wave ROF systems .

现有的应用光学倍频技术的毫米波生成系统典型方案包括:利用马赫-增德尔调制器与滤波器串联产生四倍频毫米波信号;利用两个MZM级联产生四倍频毫米波信号;利用两个相位调制器并联产生六倍频毫米波信号等。但是,这些毫米波生成系统实现的倍频数仍然较低,仍然需要较高频率的调制微波信号源,而且需要多个调制器,系统成本难以降低,大大限制了该技术的应用。Typical schemes of the existing millimeter wave generation system using optical frequency doubling technology include: using a Mach-Zehnder modulator and a filter in series to generate a quadrupled frequency millimeter wave signal; using two MZM cascades to generate a quadrupled frequency millimeter wave signal; Two phase modulators are used in parallel to generate a sixfold frequency millimeter wave signal and the like. However, the frequency multiplication achieved by these millimeter-wave generation systems is still low, and a high-frequency modulated microwave signal source is still required, and multiple modulators are required, which makes it difficult to reduce the system cost, which greatly limits the application of this technology.
