Description

Driver for single-ended driving of MZM modulator, optical emission sub-module, optical transmission module and DWDM system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of wireless communication, in particular to a driver, an optical emission sub-module, an optical transmission module and a DWDM system for single-ended driving of an MZM modulator.
Background
In order to enrich the increasing data communication demands of people, the throughput of a data center is larger and larger, and the scattered network access units are different in distance, so that the high-speed long-distance optical transmission modules are urgently needed in the industry to ensure that various access units can be covered. However, a high rate brings about a larger data throughput rate, and at the same time, causes an increase in dispersion effect, which further affects the increase in transmission distance. Mach-Zehnder Modulator, i.e., MZM, can achieve higher rates and single-ended MZM can also solve the problem of dispersion limitation, thus being a good research direction for high-speed long-range applications. However, the current MZM modulator driving scheme requires the creation of bias-tee circuits, which is costly and power consuming.
Chinese patent CN107003585A, publication date 2017, month 8, 1, differential TWE MZM driver for silicon photons, comprising differential driver, first and second capacitors and first and second terminals. The differential driver includes a first differential output terminal and a second differential output terminal that collectively form a differential pair. The first differential output is DC coupled to a negative pole of a first arm optical phase shifter of the TWE MZM. The second differential output is DC coupled to a negative pole of a second arm optical phase shifter of the TWE MZM. The first capacitor AC couples the second differential output to the positive pole of the first arm optical phase shifter. The second capacitor AC couples the first differential output to the anode of the second arm optical phase shifter. The first and second terminals are coupled to the negative and positive poles of the first or second arm optical phase shifter, respectively. However, the structure is still quite complex, which is disadvantageous for miniaturization of the element.
