The embodiment is a specific implementation of a calibration method and an operation example of a coherent light receiving device tester
A calibration method and operation example of a coherent light receiving device tester are as follows:

The calibration model of this particular embodiment includes: microwave domain and optical domain. The optical domain further includes an electro-optic calibration error model, and an electro-optic calibration error model.
The electro-optic/photo-optic calibration error model is divided into forward and backward error models according to the difference of the excitation ports, wherein E DF And E is DR Respectively representing forward and backward directional errors; e (E) SF And E is SR Respectively representing forward and backward equivalent source mismatch errors; e (E) RF And E is RR Representing forward and backward reflection measurement tracking errors, respectively; e (E) TF And E is TR Representing forward and backward transmission measurement tracking errors, respectively; e (E) XF And E is XR Representing forward and backward transmission measurement crosstalk errors, respectively; e (E) LF And E is LR Representing forward and backward equivalent load mismatch errors, respectively.

The formulas (1) to (4) are relational formulas of the measured value of the S parameter of the electro-optic/photoelectric/optical device to be measured, the true value of the S parameter and an error term, and the essence of error calibration and correction is to solve the true values of the four S parameters.
Before the electro-optic/optical devices are measured by the broadband high-speed optical network parameter tester, various system errors in the error model need to be calculated and stored by the measurement calibration piece. And once the error model and the error items in the error model are determined, error correction can be carried out on the direct measurement result, and finally, the true value of the network parameter of the electro-optic/photoelectric/optical device to be measured is obtained through calculation of an error correction algorithm. The project is to adopt twelve error models which are commonly used at present, adopt SOLT calibration technology based on the models, exchange the positions of the input end cable and the output end cable of the system based on a complementary calibration method, substitute the two complementary measurement data into the calibration model, eliminate the externally introduced errors and ensure the measurement accuracy of the broadband high-speed optical network parameter tester.
SOLT calibration techniques are measured using short-open-match-pass calibrators. The calibration process includes measurement of three single port calibration pieces (shorting piece, open piece, and loading piece) and measurement of one pass-through piece. Firstly, connecting SOLT calibration pieces at 1 and 2 ports respectively to carry out single-port measurement, and then connecting the 1 and 2 ports to carry out straight-through measurement. The specific SOLT calibration procedure is as follows:
(1) Single port calibration piece measurement
When the i (i=1, 2) port is connected to the single-port calibration piece, the twelve-term error model can be simplified into a single-port error calibration model as shown in fig. 2, where the reflection coefficient of the single-port calibration piece X is Γ X When the measured value is S mii (X) can be calculated to obtain

i port one-time short circuit calibration piece S (Γ=Γ) S ) Open-circuit calibration piece O (Γ=Γ O ) Matching calibration piece L (Γ=Γ L ) Can be obtained by combining (4)
Figure BDA0004161369000000072
Solving the equation set can obtain the directivity error, source mismatch error and back tracking error on the i port as follows
Figure BDA0004161369000000073
At the same time, the crosstalk error E can be directly measured when the matching load calibration piece is connected Xi =S mji (L)(i≠j)。
(2) Straight-through calibration piece measurement
When the i-port is excited, the error model in the case of 1, 2-port pass-through measurement can be simplified as shown in fig. 3. In the straight-through process, S 11 =S 22 =0,S 21 =S 12 =1, the expression for the measurement of the scattering parameter is obtained as follows
Figure BDA0004161369000000074
Figure BDA0004161369000000075
From this, the following can be calculated
Figure BDA0004161369000000081
E Ti =(1-E Si E Li )[S mji (T)-E Xi ] (11)
And the SOLT calibration process is completed by the two steps, the size of 12 errors is calculated, the two-port to-be-measured piece is measured, the influence of the measurement errors in the scattering parameters of the to-be-measured piece is eliminated by an error correction algorithm, and the real parameters of the to-be-measured electro-optic/photoelectric/optical device can be obtained.
As shown in fig. 4, the test is to be performedThe coherent optical device is connected to a vector network analyzer to measure the transfer function H of two channels Q (ω)*H 1 (ω) and H I (ω)*H 2 (omega) exchanging two cables at the output end of the coherent light receiving device, and measuring the transfer function of the two channels to be H Q (ω)*H 2 (ω) and H I (ω)*H 1 And (omega), thereby obtaining the dual-channel relative transfer function (12) after eliminating the cable error.
Figure BDA0004161369000000082
In summary, the technology eliminates the delay error caused by the cable by a simple and effective method, and solves the technical pain points of difficult elimination of externally introduced errors, complex calibration, complex operation and large accumulated errors of the system.
From the aspect of hardware, measurement uncertainty caused by the fact that a calibration system is built by various instruments such as a signal generator, a laser, an electro-optical modulator, a photoelectric detector and a microwave power meter is avoided, calibration accuracy is greatly improved, and testing accuracy and reliability of optical device testing can be improved.
From the aspect of the calibration flow, different types of optical path calibration can be performed in a targeted manner, and the error of an external cable can be eliminated only through exchange, so that the calibration efficiency and the calibration precision are greatly improved.
