Description

Optical fiber phase synchronization system based on optical active compensation
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of optical fiber time-frequency transmission, in particular to an optical fiber phase synchronization system based on optical active compensation, which mainly aims to keep the phases of frequency signals consistent after being transmitted by optical fibers in different system states by utilizing an optical delay line active compensation mode, improve the coherence of time-frequency transmission and be applied to the fields of coherent array detection and the like.
Background
In recent years, with the rapid development of atomic frequency standards, time and frequency transmission technologies are also continuously perfected to meet the requirements of advanced basic research and important applications such as clock comparison, accurate time service, precise metering, navigation positioning, radar networking, deep space exploration and the like. Thanks to the advantages of low loss, anti-electromagnetic interference, high reliability and the like of the optical fiber link, the optical fiber time-frequency transmission technology is rapidly developed, the transmission precision of the optical fiber time-frequency transmission technology is far higher than that of the traditional satellite transmission method, and the optical fiber time-frequency transmission technology is actively applied to various fields.
However, for the current optical fiber frequency transmission method, the aim is to achieve frequency synchronization between stations, and since the frequency is the time differential of the phase, that is, the frequency difference is zero as long as the phase difference of the frequency signal is stable in each independent operation, that is, the frequency is synchronized. Then, when the system undergoes operations from shutdown to restart, etc., the phase difference constant after re-entering steady state may change, although the frequency remains synchronized. What is required in the field of coherent array detection is not only frequency synchronization, for example, multiple-input multiple-output radar requires that all transmitting and receiving sensors must have a common phase reference to achieve high target positioning accuracy through coherent processing. The phase synchronization problem needs to be taken into account. The optical fiber phase synchronization requires that the phases of frequency signals among different stations are consistent through optical fibers, so that the phase difference of the system when the system reaches a steady state after the system is switched on and off for many times is consistent.
In order to realize Optical Fiber Phase Synchronization, an Optical Fiber Phase Synchronization over Optical Fiber [ J ] Optics Express 2020,28(4):4603-4610 ] proposes an Optical Fiber Phase Synchronization method based on a Phase conjugation scheme. The essence of the scheme is a passive compensation method based on phase conjugation, frequency mixing operation is adopted between fundamental frequency and frequency multiplication signals, phase difference caused by a passive compensation optical fiber link can be repeated under the operations of closing, restarting, optical fiber path changing and the like, and the given experimental result shows that the consistency of the phase difference relative to the whole period is within 2 percent, which indicates that the optical fiber phase synchronization is feasible.
Because the technical scheme adopts a passive compensation mode, the phase synchronization can be realized only aiming at specific frequency signals, a plurality of frequency signals and time signals cannot be transmitted simultaneously, and the application range of the passive compensation mode is limited to a certain extent. The invention provides a feasible system scheme aiming at the problems, and realizes optical fiber phase synchronization based on optical active compensation.
