新型无本振毫米波光纤无线通信上变频系统

基于低速信号注入法-珀(FP)激光器可实现无微波本振光纤无线通信(RoF)上变频技术,但是得到的微波本振频率受到FP激光器中四波混频效率的限制,难以直接实现毫米波载波的RoF上变频。在注入锁定FP激光器的基础上提出了一种新型的、低成本的在光域直接产生毫米波载波的RoF上变频方案。由于注入锁定FP激光器过程中的动态载流子特性,上变频得到的载波信号带有正啁啾,故可用负色散介质对载波信号进行脉冲压缩,从而增强高阶谐波分量以完成毫米波载波的无本振RoF上变频。实验中采用2 Gb/s非归零码注入实现了载波为13.9 GHz,用2.5 Gb/s注入实现了载波分别为13.9 GHz和15.4 GHz的RoF上变频,并采用上述方案分别实现27.8 GHz和30.8 GHz的倍频载波分量的增强。进一步实验验证了用本方案实现载波频率约60 GHz可调谐毫米波的无本振RoF上变频的可行性。

A novel optical microwave and millimeter generation by using single mode fiber FP cavity (SMFFPC) with pulse laser injection is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. The frequency of output signal is determined by the birefringence degree of the SMFFPC, a general relationship between output signal frequency of SMFFPC and birefringence degree of single mode fiber is derived. The proof of concept device consists of a light source, a polarizer controller, a modulator, a RF generator, a single mode fiber Fabry-Perot cavity, a strain inspector, an erbium doped fiber amplifier, a filter, a polarizer, and a digital communication analyzer. The results demonstrate the new concept of optical microwave and millimeter generation and the technical feasibility.

A coupled optoelectronic oscillator with three resonant cavities

A new single-mode optoelectronic oscillator (OEO) with three coupled cavities is proposed and demonstrated. A Fabry-Perot (F-P) cavity fiber laser and an optical-electrical feedback branch are coupled together to construct an optoelectronic oscillator, where the F-P cavity fiber laser serves as a light source, and a modulator is placed in the laser cavity to implement reciprocating modulation, which simultaneously splits the laser cavity into two parts and forms a dual-loop configuration. To complete an optoelectronic oscillator, part of optical signal is output from the F-P cavity to implement the feedback modulation, which constructs the third cavity. Since only the oscillation signal satisfies the requirements of all the three cavities, a single-mode oscillation can be finally achieved. Three resonant cavities are successfully designed without adding more optoelectronic devices, and the side-modes can be well suppressed with low cost. The oscillation condition is theoretically analyzed. In the experimental demonstration, a 20 GHz single longitudinal mode microwave signal is successfully obtained.

A polarization independent GaAs-AlGaAs electrooptic modulator

Two designs for polarization independent GaAs-AlGaAs interferometric electrooptic modulators are described. One design uses the linear electrooptic effect to couple degenerate TE/TM eigenmodes of a single-mode waveguide. In the other design the eigenmodes need only be near degenerate. The design using the coupling between near degenerate TE/TM modes utilizes a novel biasing scheme. A novel polarization independent GaAs-AlGaAs interferometric optical modulator based on this design has been fabricated and characterized at 1.3 μm. This modulator is fabricated as a traveling wave modulator incorporating 50 Ω, phase velocity matched, low microwave loss electrodes for maximum electrical bandwidth     

Fabry-Perot cavities with birefringent single-mode fibers and theirapplications as polarimetric sensors

The fields and resonance conditions of Fabry-Perot (FP) cavities containing several birefringent single-mode fibers are analyzed in terms of the fiber birefringence and misalignment of birefringent axes. For FP cavities with birefringent materials, two sets of fringes, corresponding to two cavity modes, are observed. Information is extracted from the separation between adjacent peaks of cavity modes of the same polarization as well as those of different polarizations. Thus an FP cavity containing birefringent fibers can be used as an optical-fiber polarimetric sensor without the use of polarization analyzers. Polarimetric sensors of this type are constructed and tested. The change of fiber birefringence due to a lateral stress applied to low-birefringence fibers is measured and the experimental results are shown to be in good agreement with the theoretical estimates

A diode-laser pumped multitransverse-mode neodymium-doped fluoride fiber laser is shown to oscillate in the lowest-order transverse mode when the cavity conditions are optimized. The combination of good pump coupling efficiency, laser operating efficiency, and good overlap of the HE₁₁ mode to that of a single-mode fiber, allows up to 12 mW of continuous wave (CW) power to be coupled into a standard single-mode fiber at a 1345-nm wavelength. Improved lens design should significantly increase the power injected into the single-mode fiber from the multimode fiber laser
