Technical Field

Background
Digital-to-analog conversion (DAC) bridges the digital world and the analog world. High-speed DACs play an important role in many modern applications, such as arbitrary waveform generators, broadband radars, wireless and optical communication instruments, etc. However, due to slew rate limitations, current electronic digital-to-analog converters are one of the major bottlenecks in many applications requiring wideband signal generation. With the development of photonic technology, photon-assisted DACs have shown the potential to improve the conversion rate and resolution of DACs. The photon DAC has the advantages of high-speed sampling clock, low time jitter, large bandwidth, electromagnetic interference resistance and the like. Furthermore, photonic DACs are naturally compatible with fiber optic communication and sensor networks and therefore can be applied in the tag processors of all optical switching networks.
The basic idea of implementing a photonic digital-to-analog converter is to weight the intensities of multiple optical carriers from an input digital signal and then sum them at the end of an optical link, which can be implemented in a parallel or serial manner.

Finally, the signal received by the photodetector 7 appears in a pulse form, and when the digital signal is defined as "1", the optical band is allowed to pass through, and when the digital signal is defined as "0", the optical band is not allowed to pass through, taking the digital signal of fig. 2 as an example, the analog quantity corresponding to the digital signal 1010 is 10, the analog quantity corresponding to the digital signal 0101 is 5, the analog quantity corresponding to the digital signal 0100 is 4, and the analog quantity corresponding to the digital signal 1001 is 9.
As shown in fig. 1-2, in the embodiment, by taking a 4-bit optical analog-to-digital conversion as an example, the optical digital-to-analog conversion method based on optical pulse stretching/compression and spectrum shaping specifically includes the following steps: s1, a mode-locked laser 1 generates a periodic pulse light string, and the periodic pulse light string is subjected to pulse broadening through a dispersion device 2 to obtain a chirped light pulse;

assuming that a pulse signal emitted by the mode-locked laser 1 is x (t), and passes through a dispersion device 2 with dispersion phi, the dispersion impulse response of the dispersion device is
Figure BDA0003106107440000081
Its output y (t) can be expressed as
Figure BDA0003106107440000082
When the pulse x (t) is inputted, the pulse width Deltat of the pulse x (t)0When the dispersion amount Φ of the dispersion device is sufficiently small and large, the condition is satisfied:
Figure BDA0003106107440000091
due to the fact that
Figure BDA0003106107440000092
So that in the formula y (t)
Figure BDA0003106107440000093
Can be ignored, so the above formula y (t) can be approximated as
Figure BDA0003106107440000094
Therefore, the spectrum envelope of the input signal is mapped to the time domain after passing through the dispersion device, and the mapping scale transformation relation is ω ═ t/Φ. In the formula, when the dispersion parameter Φ contains only the first-order dispersion coefficient
Figure BDA0003106107440000095

In the device, optical pulses are firstly broadened in a time domain through a dispersion device to obtain chirp signals, and then the power of different frequency bands in a single period of the obtained chirp signals is changed into a multiple of 2 through a spectrum shaper to realize a weighting process. The chirp signal and the digital signal carrying different power information are injected into a Mach-Zehnder electro-optic modulator for modulation, the modulation signal is connected with a section of dispersion compensation optical fiber for pulse compression to realize a superposition process, the superposed signal is converted into an electric signal through a photoelectric detector, and finally the electric signal enters a low-pass filter for smooth processing, so that the process of converting the digital signal into an analog signal is realized. Compared with the traditional digital-to-analog conversion scheme, the scheme ensures incoherent superposition in the optical digital-to-analog conversion process by using spectral broadening and spectral compression, effectively avoids the problem of system instability caused by coherent superposition, and only needs one pair of conjugate dispersion optical fibers, one spectral shaper, one photoelectric modulator, one photoelectric detector and one low-pass filter, so that the device has a simple structure and is easy to integrate.
