Description

Four-wave mixing-based photonic ultra-wideband terahertz frequency hopping source
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of terahertz signal generation, in particular to a photonic ultra-wideband terahertz frequency hopping source based on four-wave mixing, which is applied to the fields of new generation (5G, 6G) mobile communication, radar detection and the like.
Background
Along with development of scientific technology, people have urgent demands for ultra-high-speed transmission of large-capacity data, and in recent years, terahertz communication has wide application prospect in the aspect of short-distance ultra-high-speed wireless communication with the advantages of high data rate and large bandwidth, and can meet the ultra-high demands of various emerging applications (such as VR, AR, satellite communication and the like). In addition, with the increasing complexity of wireless communication environments, how to ensure stable and efficient communication is also an important point in the field of communication. The frequency hopping source is a frequency source with frequency capable of hopping within a certain range, is widely applied to the fields of communication and radar, and can enable a communication or radar system to have good anti-interference and anti-interception capability. Therefore, the ultra-wideband multi-frequency point frequency hopping source working in the terahertz frequency band is realized, and the anti-interference and anti-interception capabilities of terahertz communication and radar systems can be further improved.
Modern electronic frequency hopping source technology adopts a mixed frequency synthesis mode to meet more demands. However, in the frequency multiplication process, deterioration of the phase noise by a factor of 20lgN is inevitably brought about. Meanwhile, conventional radio frequency devices are limited by "electronic bottlenecks" such as bandwidth and energy consumption, and it has been difficult to meet the current terahertz communication requirements. The photonic frequency hopping source inoculated from the idea of photoelectric fusion utilizes the advantages of ultra-high frequency, high speed and the like which are unique in photonics, and can easily achieve ultra-wide band and fast frequency hopping. At present, the implementation scheme of the frequency hopping source based on photonics mainly adopts two types of frequency synthesis and frequency switching. The frequency synthesis type photon frequency hopping source generates frequency hopping signals by utilizing a photoelectric frequency synthesizer with high-speed frequency switching capability: an optoelectronic oscillator using polarization-maintaining phase-shifting Fiber bragg gratings as reported in the literature "Frequency-hopping microwave waveform generation based on a Frequency-tunable optoelectronic oscillator, optical Fiber communication 2014,1-3" successfully achieves Frequency hopping between 17.1GHz and 15.75GHz and Frequency hopping between 9.58GHz and 8.65GHz, and Frequency hopping signal synthesis with a Frequency hopping switching speed of about 100 ns. However, the generation of multi-stage frequency hopping signals is hindered due to the mode competition problem of the photoelectric oscillator. As another example, document "Flexible frequency-hopping microwave generation by dynamic control of optically injected semiconductor laser, IEEE Photonics journal.2016,8,1-9," reports that a frequency hopping signal having a frequency hopping bandwidth of 10.5GHz and having a frequency point hopping back and forth of 10 frequency points between 10.5GHz and 21.0GHz is realized by utilizing the nonlinear dynamics of single-period oscillation of a semiconductor laser. Although a frequency hopping switching speed of 10ns can be achieved, the maximum frequency hopping range achieved with this approach is only tens of GHz due to the limited tunable range of the semiconductor laser. The frequency switching type photon frequency hopping source uses a photoelectric frequency selector to select frequency in a pre-generated frequency set and outputs a frequency hopping signal. A switch using the electro-optic modulation effect as reported in the literature "High-Speed and Wideband Frequency-Hopping Microwave Signal Generation via Switching the Bias Point of an Optical Modulator, IEEE Photonics Journal,2018, vol.10, no.1" enables switching between 12GHz and 24GHz signals at a frequency hopping rate of 1 ns. The realization method mostly adopts the mode that a plurality of microwave signals with different frequencies are modulated on light, then a tunable microwave photon filter is utilized for frequency selection and switching, so that frequency hopping output is generated, the frequency component sources are basically an electronic method, the frequency hopping output of a millimeter wave high frequency band and a terahertz frequency band is difficult to realize, and the frequency hopping bandwidth and the frequency point number are very limited. In general, current photonic frequency hopping sources can achieve ultra-fast frequency hopping switching speeds and can easily achieve much larger frequency hopping bandwidths than electronic methods, but still suffer from the following three limitations and disadvantages:
firstly, the frequency hopping source technology of the terahertz frequency band with the working frequency range of most below 25GHz and the terahertz frequency band of above 100GHz is not yet reported;
secondly, the frequency hopping bandwidth is smaller, and the large bandwidth advantage of the photonics technology is not fully exerted yet;
third, most of the frequency hopping rate increases between two frequency points, while other indicators are ignored, the number of frequency points is significantly less than the electronic frequency hopping source.
