Embodiment
Technical scheme is described in further detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings:
The invention solves the problems that the approach that problem is previously mentioned in background technology is exactly to change Electro-optical Modulation for full light modulation.It is so-called complete Optical phase modulator, refers to the detection light for injecting the device in the presence of the intensity type control optical signal of external carrying information, Its phase for exporting detection light changes with the Strength Changes of external control light, so that the information for controlling light is reprinted in detection In the phase of light.It should be noted that control light only should be modulated to the phase for detecting light, and for detecting the intensity of light Should be unaffected.
Full optical phase modulator has many good qualities compared with electrooptic modulator.First, inside full optical modulator, adjusted The signal and modulated signal of system are all light, as long as their wavelength is close, on the geometric scale of modulator (such as cm magnitudes) Dispersion is negligible, and its transmission speed is essentially identical, so being natural synchronous.Secondly, adjusted based on nonlinear full light Device processed, response speed easily reaches fs magnitudes, also in the absence of distributed capacitor inductance the problems such as.3rd, full light phase modulation The active devices such as the light source (laser) used in device, have identical technique with modulator device, can easily be integrated into One miniature device, small volume.These essential advantages determine that only full optical modulator can meet the tune of super 100G systems Demand processed.In view of current High Speed System use is all high-order coded format, so exploring towards the complete of high-order coded format Optical modulator, with more important meaning.
The full optical phase modulator of fast tunable of the present invention, such as Fig. 2 is the overall structure diagram of the present invention, bag Include two parts:1. differential balance signal forming unit;2. adjusted with semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) for the light phase of Primary Component Unit processed.Principle is as follows:One wavelength of input is λ1Intensity modulated (OOK) signal Pin1), usually non-return-to-zero (NRZ) Code, initially enters differential balance signal forming unit, is changed into two-way differential balance signal, power is respectively P1(t,λ1) and P2(t, λ1'), wherein λ1≈λ1' or it is equal.So-called differential balance signal refers to that the power sum of the two is constant, i.e. P1(t,λ1)+P2 (t,λ1′)≡P0(constant), and the two radix-minus-one complement (the data contrast of carrying), even P each other1(t,λ1) be " 1 " code when, P2 (t,λ1') it is " 0 " code, vice versa.Because the extinction ratio of actual NRZ codes is a finite value, " 0 " code institute is not necessarily made excessive demands Corresponding performance number one is set to zero.Meanwhile, in order to produce radix-minus-one complement each other, it is necessary to using phase inverter, tend not to make P1And P2Ripple Length is completely the same, may there is some errors, that is, in P1(t,λ1) and P21') in only need to λ1≈λ1', in the following description In, we are no longer strictly distinguish between λ1And λ1′.Two-way differential balance signal, respectively with by modulation light (detection light) in the same direction and Inverse injection SOA, inside SOA, two-way differential balance signal and detection light interaction produce Cross-phase Modulation.
In theory, the gain in SOA transient processes meets following three equation with phase place change
In formula, P (z, τ) is the luminous power at certain point z moment t inside SOA, and g (z, τ) is the certain point moment inside SOA Gain,For the phase of SOA inside certain point moment complex amplitude, α is linewidth enhancement factor, be can be considered within the specific limits Constant, EsatFor SOA saturation power, constant can be considered.Defining integration gainPhase shift can be obtained by solving equationWhen the control light of inverse injection equal-wattage, g (τ) is equal, but ThenIf static operating point is placed in pi/2, and makeIt can be obtained by [0, π] two State.The high-speed phase modulation of area of light is so achieved that, just as going to modulate lithium niobate electrooptic modulator one with high-speed electrical signals Sample.
