Specific embodiment
Technical solution of the present invention is described in further detail with reference to the accompanying drawing:
It is exactly to change Electro-optical Modulation as full light modulation the invention solves the approach for being previously mentioned problem in background technique.It is so-called complete Optical phase modulator, refer to the injection device detects light under the action of the intensity type of external carrying information controls optical signal, Its phase for exporting detection light changes with the Strength Changes of external control light, so that the information for controlling light reprinting detected In the phase of light.It should be noted that control light should only be modulated the phase for detecting light, and the intensity for detecting light It should be unaffected.
Full optical phase modulator has many good qualities compared with electrooptic modulator.Firstly, being adjusted inside full optical modulator The signal and modulated signal of system are all light, as long as their wavelength is close, on the geometric scale of modulator (such as cm magnitude) Dispersion be it is negligible, transmission speed is essentially identical, so being naturally synchronous.Secondly, being based on nonlinear full light tune The problems such as device processed, response speed easily reach fs magnitude, and distributed capacitor inductance is also not present.Third, full light phase modulation The active devices such as the light source (laser) used in device are integrated into which can be convenient with modulator device technique having the same One miniature device, it is small in size.These essential advantages determine that only full optical modulator can satisfy the tune of super 100G system Demand processed.What it is in view of current High Speed System use is all high-order coded format, so exploring towards the complete of high-order coded format Optical modulator, with more important meaning.
The full optical phase modulator of fast tunable of the present invention, if Fig. 2 is overall structure diagram of the invention, packet Include two parts: 1. differential balance signal forming unit;2. taking semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) as the light phase tune of Primary Component Unit processed.Principle is as follows: one wavelength of input is λ1Intensity modulated (OOK) signal Pin1), usually non-return-to-zero (NRZ) Code, initially enters differential balance signal forming unit, becomes two-way differential balance signal, power is respectively P1(t,λ1) and P2(t, λ1'), wherein λ1≈λ1' or it is equal.So-called differential balance signal refers to that the sum of power of the two is constant, i.e. P1(t,λ1)+P2 (t,λ1′)≡P0(constant), and the two radix-minus-one complement (data of carrying are exactly the opposite), even P each other1(t,λ1) be " 1 " code when, P2 (t,λ1') it is " 0 " code, vice versa.Since the extinction ratio of actual NRZ code is a finite value, " 0 " code institute is not necessarily made excessive demands Corresponding performance number one is set to zero.Meanwhile in order to generate radix-minus-one complement each other, need to tend not to make P using phase inverter1And P2Wave Length is completely the same, may have some errors, that is, in P1(t,λ1) and P21') in only need λ1≈λ1', in the following description In, we are no longer strictly distinguish λ1And λ1′.Two-way differential balance signal, respectively with by modulation light (detection light) in the same direction and Inverse injection SOA, inside SOA, two-way differential balance signal and detection light interaction generate Cross-phase Modulation.
Theoretically, the gain in SOA transient process and phase change meet following three equation
In formula, P (z, τ) is the optical power of certain point z moment t inside SOA, when g (z, τ) is certain point inside SOA The gain at quarter,For the phase of the inside SOA certain point moment complex amplitude, α is linewidth enhancement factor, in a certain range It can be considered constant, EsatFor the saturation power of SOA, constant can be considered.Defining integration gainIt solves equation Phase shift can be obtainedWhen the control light of inverse injection equal-wattage, g (τ) is equal, butThenIf static operating point is placed in pi/2, and makeIt can be obtained by [0, π] two states.The high-speed phase modulation for thereby realizing area of light, just as at a high speed Electric signal goes modulation lithium niobate electrooptic modulator the same.

The detection light P modulatedin2) with differential balance control light P all the way1(t,λ1) closed via wave division multiplex coupler As SOA is entered after a signal, the another way of differential balance controls light P2(t,λ1') first reach circulator 1 port, and from The 2 ports output of circulator enters SOA, the detection light by phase-modulation exported from SOA, by 3 ports of circulator Then output is the light of phase-modulation via a filter Filter output.
The phase inverter, can there are many structure, the most commonly used is utilizing semiconductor optical amplifier cross-gain modulation, As shown in Figure 5.It includes a wave division multiplex coupler, a local laser LD (λ1'), wavelength is very close to input light Wavelength, a semiconductor optical amplifier and a filter.When input signal is high level, for λ in SOA1′ The gain of light is smaller, and when input is low level, SOA is for λ1The gain of ' light is larger.In this way, the λ of output1' light is exactly defeated Enter the radix-minus-one complement of light.
Another phase inverter is made of the local laser to work in switch state, and referring to Fig. 6, it includes one and goes in ring Device, a laser and a filter.When input light is injected into local laser by a circulator, when it is low For light usually (when namely injecting without ambient light), local laser starting of oscillation exports the flat λ of bloom1' light;Work as input light Usually for bloom, local laser is under the locking of exterior light, not starting of oscillation, exports as close to 0 light.After filtering, obtain Optical signal with input light radix-minus-one complement.Structure ratio Fig. 5 of Fig. 6 is succinct, but response speed is slightly slow.
