一种倍频光电振荡器的实现方法

提出了一种利用电光调制器的非线性效应实现光电振荡器倍频输出的方法,通过在光电振荡环路中引入微波分频器,使得利用低频率的电光调制器有可能产生高频率的微波倍频信号输出,从而降低了振荡频率对调制器工作频率的要求。理论和实验研究表明,在微波信号输入功率较低时,调制器将引入较大的附加噪声,会严重恶化光电振荡器输出的倍频微波信号的相位噪声。通过在振荡反馈环路中增加一个微波放大器,减小附加噪声,能够极大地改善倍频信号的相位噪声。当环路光纤为1km时,产生的9GHz倍频信号相位噪声在10kHz频率偏移时达到-104dBc/Hz,比典型光电振荡环路恶化了6dB,同时,保持了较高的输出功率。实验结果与理论分析基本一致,证明了该倍频输出光电振荡器的可行性。

Based on this model, the effect of flick noise on the phase noise is analyzed and results show that our model can describe the phase noise characteristics of OEO more accurately than traditional model.     

Optical scattering noise in high Q fiber ring resonators and its effect on optoelectronic oscillator phase noise

Nonlinear phenomena occurring in an optical fiber ring resonator featuring ultrahigh Q factor are experimentally studied. The laser is locked onto the resonator, and the optical power induced in the resonator is controlled. The onset of the first stimulated Brillouin scattering wave occurs at an optical input power as low as -9 dBm in these resonators. When the resonator is used as the frequency reference device in an optoelectronic oscillator (OEO), it has been found that these parasitic signals mix with the OEO signal and degrade its phase noise. More than 20 dB improvement of the OEO phase noise has been demonstrated by limiting these nonlinear optical effects.     

Synchronized clock multiplication through optical subharmonic injection locking of an optoelectronic oscillator

We propose a remote synchronization scheme based on optoelectronic oscillators (OEO) and external modulators. Synchronized clock multiplication is demonstrated by using optical subharmonic injection locking technique. A 10-GHz slave OEO was successfully synchronized by 2.5-GHz/Gbps injecting optical clock pulse train, return-to-zero (RZ) signal and non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signal, respectively. The synchronization scheme is advantageous since it does not require strong nonlinearity presented in the master signal, and is capable of generating electrical and optical clock with small add-on phase noise.

利用偏振分束器(PBS)和合束器(PBC)在不增加有源器件的基础上设计了一种双环路光电振荡器。该振荡器可以同时产生光、电两种输出。由于没有增加有源器件,可以避免附加电噪声的引入。此外,光载波在光域中是正交耦合,消除了随机干涉和拍噪声对振荡频率的影响。通过理论分析,双环结构的光电振荡器可以有效抑制每一单环路中起振的边模。经过实验对比,采用双环结构可以把边模抑制比提高30~70 dB。最后,利用该方案和普通商用器件得到了中心频率为12 GHz的振荡,测得边模抑制比为50~70 dB,相位噪声为-93 dBc/Hz at10kHz,Q值达到1010。     

Wideband frequency tunable optoelectronic oscillator based on a dispersion compensated microwave photonic filter

A wideband tunable optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) based on a dispersion compensated phase modulated microwave photonics filter (MPF) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The MPF, consisting of a tunable laser source (TLS), a phase modulator, a fiber Bragg grating Fabry–Perot filter and a photodetector, is used as the oscillating mode selection device. Dual-loop configuration is employed to make sure the OEO operates at a single oscillating mode. Theoretically analysis is carried out to demonstrate the tuning range limitation due to the phase-modulation to intensity-modulation conversion caused by long single mode fiber (SMF). To overcome this disadvantage and expand the signal tuning range, a dispersion compensation fiber is introduced followed by the SMF to compensate the fiber dispersion. By simply adjusting the wavelength of the TLS, an ultra-wideband tunable microwave signal with the frequency tuning range from 2 to 44 GHz is obtained. The phase noise is also investigated and measured to be less than ? 110 dBc/Hz at an offset of 10 kHz within the whole frequency range.     

Optoelectronic oscillator using a LiNbO3 phase modulator for self-oscillating frequency comb generation

Optical frequency comb generation by using a novel optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) is proposed and demonstrated with the emphasis placed on self-oscillating operation. In the OEO, a wideband LiNbO3 phase modulator is driven with a large-amplitude radio-frequency (RF) feedback signal to generate a deeply phase-modulated light wave; accordingly, an optical frequency comb with a bandwidth greater than the RF signal is generated by self-oscillation. Although it generates multifrequency components, the OEO exhibits characteristics of a single-mode oscillator. Its operation is stable and self-starting. An optical frequency comb with a 120 GHz bandwidth and 9.95 GHz frequency spacing was successfully generated by self-oscillation at a single frequency.     

Impact of fiber delay fluctuation on reference injection-locked optoelectronic oscillators

We demonstrate that the phase shift of a reference injection-locked optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) varies as the change of its fiber delay over a long period of time. The dynamic variation of the fiber delay is monitored using an injected probe signal and is compared with the phase shift. With actively stabilized fiber delays according to the monitored data, the long-term frequency stability of the reference injection-locked OEO is evaluated.     

Coupled frequency-doubling optoelectronic oscillator based on polarization modulation and polarization multiplexing

A coupled frequency-doubling optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) is proposed and experimentally demonstrated, which is constructed based on the perfect combination of polarization modulation and polarization multiplexing. A fundamental microwave signal at 9.95 GHz or a frequency-doubled microwave signal at 19.9 GHz is generated with a wavelength-independent sidemode-suppression ratio (SMSR) as high as 78 dB obtained. The phase noise of the generated 19.9-GHz signal is ? 103.45 dBc/Hz at 10-kHz frequency offset, indicating a good short-term stability. The proposed scheme is simple and flexible, which can find applications in radars and wireless communications.
