Description

基于嵌套马赫-曾德尔调制器的二十倍频光载毫米波装置和 方法Twenty-fold optical carrier millimeter-wave devices based on nested Mach-Zehnder modulators and method

技术领域technical field

本发明涉及光电信号处理方法,尤其涉及一种产生二十倍频光载毫米波的方法及其装置。The invention relates to a photoelectric signal processing method, in particular to a method and a device for generating twenty-fold frequency optical-carried millimeter waves.

背景技术Background technique

随着信息社会的快速发展,用户对无线通信接入的带宽和速率提出了更高的要求。毫米波通信因其高带宽和高速率成为宽带无线通信的有力竞争者。60GHz及以上频率波段将成为无线局域网的首选频段。光纤无线通信RoF技术结合了光纤通信的高带宽大和无线通信接入灵活等优点,能提高毫米波通信的传输距离。然而,受限于铌酸锂马赫-曾德尔调制器(MZM)较低的频率响应,直接将毫米波信号调制到光频上存在困难,同时高频射频器件的成本较高,这些都需要采用多倍频技术产生高频光载毫米波。因此如何产生高质量的多倍频光载毫米波就成为了问题的突破口。With the rapid development of the information society, users have put forward higher requirements on the bandwidth and rate of wireless communication access. Millimeter wave communication has become a strong competitor of broadband wireless communication because of its high bandwidth and high speed. 60GHz and above frequency band will become the preferred frequency band for WLAN. Optical fiber wireless communication RoF technology combines the advantages of high bandwidth of optical fiber communication and flexible wireless communication access, etc., and can improve the transmission distance of millimeter wave communication. However, limited by the low frequency response of the lithium niobate Mach-Zehnder modulator (MZM), it is difficult to directly modulate the millimeter-wave signal to the optical frequency, and the cost of high-frequency radio frequency devices is high, all of which need to be used Multi-frequency technology generates high-frequency optical-carrying millimeter waves. Therefore, how to generate high-quality multi-frequency optical-carrying millimeter waves has become a breakthrough in the problem.

与四倍频、六倍频、八倍频、十倍频或十二倍频等多倍频毫米波信号产生方案相比,二十倍频方案可以产生更高频率的毫米波信号或进一步降低对调制器带宽的需要。已经报道的产生多倍频光载毫米波的方法有集成调制器法产生八倍频[光学学报,2014,4(3):0306004-1-8]、调制器+受激布里渊散射法产生十倍频[光电子·激光,2015,35(4):695-699]、级联调制器+光纤光栅法产生十二倍频[Optics&Laser Technology,2011,43(7):1167-1171]。Compared with multi-octave mmWave signal generation schemes such as quadruple, sextuple, octal, decade, or twelve-octave, the twenty-octave scheme can generate higher-frequency mmWave signals or further reduce The need for modulator bandwidth. The reported methods for generating multi-frequency optical carrier millimeter waves include integrated modulator method to generate octave frequency [Acta Optics Sinica, 2014, 4(3): 0306004-1-8], modulator + stimulated Brillouin scattering method Generate tenfold frequency [Optoelectronics Laser, 2015,35(4):695-699], cascade modulator + fiber grating method to generate twelvefold frequency [Optics & Laser Technology, 2011,43(7):1167-1171].

然而,上述产生多倍频光载毫米波的方法存在一些不足。八倍频集成调制器法能产生的毫米波频率有限。十倍频和十二倍频法采用受激布里渊散射效应或光纤光栅,实质上都需要使用额外光器件的滤波功能来抑制不需要的光边带,但这样又会妨碍这些方法在波分复用WDM-RoF系统和上变频系统中的应用,也增加了系统的复杂程度并限制了其在整个毫米波段的可调谐性。However, there are some shortcomings in the above-mentioned methods for generating multi-frequency optically carried mmWave. The millimeter-wave frequency that can be generated by the eight-fold integrated modulator method is limited. The decadal and doubling frequency methods use the stimulated Brillouin scattering effect or fiber gratings, which essentially need to use the filtering function of additional optical devices to suppress the unwanted optical sidebands, but this will hinder these methods in the wave The application of division multiplexing WDM-RoF system and up-conversion system also increases the complexity of the system and limits its tunability in the entire millimeter wave band.

The light wave emitted by the laser is modulated by a radio frequency signal through the nested modulator, and the upper and lower arms of the nested modulator are respectively It consists of two cascaded MZM sub-modulators, and these four MZM sub-modulators are all biased at the minimum output point; the phase difference of the RF driving signal between the upper and lower arms of the nested modulator cascaded MZM modulators is π/2, the phase difference between the RF drive signals of the two arms of each sub-modulator is π, which is realized by a phase shifter; the addition of the upper and lower signals output by the upper and lower arms of the nested modulator will generate 4k+2( k=0, ±1, ±2...) order sidebands, mainly including ±2, ±6 and ±10th order sidebands, while other 4k+2 order components higher than 10th order are negligible in magnitude;

2阶边带的幅度正比于2阶贝塞尔函数m为调制指数,通过设置合适的调制指数,使设置嵌套调制器上下两臂的射频驱动信号之间的相位差为π/6,使上臂输出的6阶边带和下臂输出的6阶边带相位相反,两者相加时互相抵消而为零;当2阶边带为零并且上下两路信号的6阶边带相加互相抵消时,经过光纤传输后正10阶边带和负10阶边带在光电探测器PD拍频产生二十倍频毫米波信号。The magnitude of the 2nd order sideband is proportional to the 2nd order Bessel function m is the modulation index, by setting the appropriate modulation index, make Set the phase difference between the RF drive signals of the upper and lower arms of the nested modulator to π/6, so that the phases of the 6th-order sideband output by the upper arm and the 6th-order sideband output by the lower arm are opposite, and when the two are added together, they cancel each other out. is zero; when the 2nd-order sideband is zero and the 6th-order sidebands of the upper and lower signals cancel each other out, the positive 10th-order sideband and negative 10th-order sideband will generate two Decade millimeter wave signal.
