耦合条件对集成波导微环延时线性能的影响

对应用于光控相控阵系统的级联微环集成波导光延时线进行了研究,重点分析了波导微环耦合系数在过耦合和欠耦合状态下对其延时响应的影响.以三环级联光延时线结构为例,研究了无限制耦合条件和过耦合条件下得到的优化结构参数以及获得的延时性能.结果表明,在小的延时量目标下,无限制耦合条件比过耦合条件更有利于实现带内平坦的延时响应和幅度...

提出了一种基于可调光延迟线的光子学微波频率测量方法.经同一微波信号调制的两个不同波长光载波在经过一段可调色散介质传输后,解调输出两路具有不同相位的微波信号,得到的相干微波功率随着色散量的改变出现周期性变化,由此周期可得到输入微波频率值.采用由8个磁光开关和1.6 km单模光纤构成的7-bit光纤延迟线实现色散量的调节....     

Novel method for fiber chromatic dispersion measurement based on microwave photonic technique

In this letter,we propose and demonstrate a simple and novel method for fiber chromatic dispersion(CD) measurement based on microwave photonic technique.The radio frequency(RF) signal is modulated simultaneously on two light-waves with different wavelengths,and the light-wave carrying RF signals transmit through the dispersive medium under test.CD can be obtained by monitoring the power changing of the interference RF signals after photo detector.The CD values of the single-mode and dispersion compensation fibers are both measured within the wavelength range from 1 525 to 1 605 nm,which verifies the feasibility of this method.     

Novel photonic approach to microwave frequency measurement using tunable group delay line

A photonic approach for measuring microwave frequency over a wide bandwidth is proposed.An optic group delay line composed of several magneto-optical switches and a 1.6-km single-mode fiber is used as a tunable dispersive medium in the measurement setup.A minimum frequency accuracy of 80 MHz in the range of 1-20 GHz is achieved experimentally.
