Description

Photoelectricity phase demodulation phase-locking device based on Mach-Zehnder modulator
Technical field
The present invention relates to optical information processing, specifically a kind of photoelectricity phase demodulation phase-locking device based on Mach-Zehnder modulator.
Background technology
Photoelectricity lock-in techniques the generation of high stable signal source, the realization of high resolution measurement equipment, optical signal process There is important application with aspects such as the synchronizations of transmission and large-scale scientific equipment, light similar to traditional radio frequency Phase Lock Technique Electric locking system can be by the frequency of controlled signal and reference signal and PGC demodulation so that their frequency and phase place keep solid Fixed relation.According to the different mechanism of phase discriminator in photoelectricity locking system, controlled signal and reference signal both can be optical signals, It can also be the signal of telecommunication.By photoelectricity locking system, controlled signal and reference signal height coherent can be made, have each other Identical phase noise characteristic, and then also reduce the phase noise of system while improving the stability of system.This for Lifting photon radar and coherent communication etc. need the performance of the Microwave photonics system of high coherent pulse signalf, have very crucial work With.
Photoelectricity phase demodulation Phase Lock Technique mainly includes following several:
A kind of is photoelectricity phase demodulation Phase Lock Technique (J.Kim, J.A.Cox, Chen J, F.X. based on optical non-linear effectDrift-free femtosecond timing synchronization of remote optical and microwave sources.Nature Photonics,2008,2:733-736.), the research of non-linear phenomena is allowed with people Have developed multiple nonlinear optical crystals, what these crystal had can be used to carry out the frequency conversion of laser, have can be right The intensity of laser pulse, phase place are modulated, also can realize the Hologram Storage to laser signal, application is quite varied. In these crystal, have frequency-doubled effect (SHG) with and frequency effect crystal optical phase detect in have very big application before Scape.In fiber optic transmission system long haul, using the photon phase discriminator of the crystal composition with SHG effect, measurement sending and receiving end letter Phase offset between number is simultaneously fed back, and can effectively overcome performance in the PGC demodulation in conventional optical communication systems to be limited to reflect The problem that phase device degree of balance and noise limit, but the shortcoming of this phase discriminator is system employs more optical glass, and structure is relatively For complicated it is difficult to integrated.
Refer to that the different laser of two bundle frequencies injects some second nonlinear materials with frequency effect in optical non-linear effect The phenomenon of the light of both frequency sums after on material, can be produced in addition to the light of two kinds of incident frequencies.Based on frequency crystal Photon phase discriminator and photoelectricity locking system (J.Kim, J.A.Cox, Chen J, F.X.Drift-free femtosecond timing synchronization of remote optical and microwave sources.Nature Photonics,2008,2:733-736.) employ all optical fibre structure, the stability of system is high.This Outward, this phase discriminator employs balanced structure, effectively eliminates the noise of channel mismatch introducing.But this phase discriminator also has some to lack Point, such as system structure complicated it is difficult to integrated.Meanwhile, the performance of nonlinear crystal and stability are affected by environment big, make system Suitable environment be restricted.
Another kind of photoelectricity phase demodulation Phase Lock Technique based on microwave photon device, optical technology is applied to microwave system by this technology In system, using the advantages such as the high bandwidth of optical system, low-loss, strong antijamming capability carry out microwave signal process, produce with Transmission.Phase-detection and locking are carried out to optical signal, most straightforward approach is to convert optical signals to the signal of telecommunication, then using electricity Phaselocked loop carries out phase demodulation lock phase.In this approach it is only necessary to the prime of RF mixer adds PD, just have devised a kind of base Photoelectricity phase discriminator in RF mixer.This photoelectricity phase discriminator can be widely used in photoelectricity locking system (T.K.Kim, Y.Song,K.Jung,C.Kim,H.Kim,C.H.Nam,and J.Kim.Sub-100-as timing jitter optical pulse trains from mode-locked Er-fiber lasers.Optics letters,2011,36(22): 4443-4445.), the program is applied to the locking between the locking of optical signal and the signal of telecommunication and optical signal, and its principle is simple, Cost of implementation is low.But limited by the bandwidth of RF mixer it is impossible to apply in high frequency, the system of high bandwidth.Additionally, this mirror Phase device is because mixer channel is unbalance, intermodulation distortion, PD thermal noise, PD power supply ripple the shortcomings of, lead to system noise relatively Greatly.
In order to avoid the non-equilibrium noise bringing of passage in phase discriminator, current people begin one's study the photoelectricity of some self-balancings Phase discriminator, among this, receives numerous concern (K.Jung, J.Kim.Sub- based on the photoelectricity phase discriminator of Sagnac ring femtosecond synchronization of microwave oscillators with mode-locked Er- fiber lasers.Optics letters,2012,37(14):2958-2960.).Photoelectricity phase discriminator based on Sagnac ring It is applied to the locking between optical signal and the signal of telecommunication.This phase discriminator employs balanced structure, effectively eliminates channel mismatch and brings Noise.Further, since the operating frequency of phase-modulator is wider with bandwidth of operation, this phase discriminator can be applied wide at some In band, the synchronization system of high-frequency signal.The shortcoming of this phase discriminator is that structure is relative complex, and the adjustment of system, maintenance cost are higher, And it is difficult to integrated.
However, existing photoelectricity phase demodulation Phase Lock Technique system structure, cost, performance and integrated between all there is restriction Relation is it is therefore desirable to propose a kind of new photoelectricity phase demodulation phase-locking device.
