Converter.
Background technology
With the continuous development of computer technology, the bandwidth promotion that tradition is electrically interconnected is limited, and power consumption is big, novel light
Interconnection technique can largely solve this problem.After light network, system is out low from processor or memory
The first modulated optical signal for being converted into low speed of electric signal of speed, the serioparallel exchange by light are that the optical signal of high speed passes to realize
Defeated and exchange.But the optical signal of low speed generally uses amplitude modulation code (On-Off Keying, OOK), the optical signal one of high speed
As use phase-modulation code (Phase-Shift Keying, PSK), this allows for may having a variety of pumped FIR lasers simultaneously in system
The case where depositing and needing conversion.
Amplitude modulation code OOK amplitudes signal-based just represent " 1 " " 0 ", have the advantages that modulation and demodulation are simple,
Be adapted in wavelength-division multiplex system (WDM, Wavelength Division Multiplexing) but to polarization and dispersion compared with
For sensitivity, therefore more it is suitable for transmitting and receiving terminal.
Correspondingly, phase-modulation code PSK is represented " 1 " " 0 " based on different phases.It is maintained in entire communication process solid
Fixed light intensity.Common PSK codes have differential phase keying (DPSK) (DPSK, Differential Phase Shift Keying) and four
Two kinds of phase-shift keying (PSK) (QPSK, Quadrature Phase Shift Keying).The two is not both to be DPSK code systems with 0,
The change of π phases represents " 0 ", and " 1 ", and QPSK code systems can occur four phases such as 0, π, To represent " 00 "
“01”“10”“11”.The problems such as signal caused by phase code can overcome waveguide dispersion effect deteriorates, can increase the appearance of transmission
Amount and range, are the coding modes of great practical value in high-speed optical interconnection network.But its modulation demodulation system complexity is high, at
This is also high, and there are certain requirements to Light source line width.
Therefore, in photo transmission system send and receiving terminal conveniently use low speed amplitude modulation code, and transmission and
High-speed phase modulation code is used when exchange.This just needs to carry out different pumped FIR laser conversions.It is general at present for this problem
Solution is to carry out pattern conversion using semiconductor amplifier (SOA, Semiconductor Optical Amplifier),
Such as using semiconductor amplifier Mach-Zehnder (SOA-MZI) structure, utilize the Self-phase modulation in SOA link structures
Cross gain effect (XGM, the Cross- of SOA in the ring mirror of effect (SPM, Self-Phase Modulation) or utilization SOA
Gain Modulation) and the pattern of Cross-phase Modulation (XPM, Cross-phase Modulation) etc. convert (i.e. light intensity
Cause the Cross-phase Modulation of SOA that intensity signal is made to be converted into phase information).However, since SOA is active device, it is above-mentioned
Scheme can be limited by SOA carrier recovery times, and the reaction time is ns ranks, is not suitable for conversion and the biography of high speed signal
Defeated process prevents itself and existing COMS techniques integrated technique from preferably merging in addition, the structure due to SOA limits.
