Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the fields of optical fiber communication, free space optical communication, optical signal detection and digital signal processing, and particularly relates to a linear direct detection method and system based on a synthetic single-sideband signal.
Background
Currently, optical communication systems mainly employ intensity modulation and direct detection techniques. The optical receiver based on the direct detection technology adopts a single photodiode to convert an optical signal into an electrical signal, has a simple structure and low cost, but the output current of the photodiode is in direct proportion to the square of the mode field (namely, optical power) of an input optical signal, so that only the intensity information of signal light can be detected. Since intensity modulation does not fully utilize all modulatable dimensions of the optical field, transmission efficiency is low, and it is difficult to meet the increasing demand for high-speed large-capacity communication systems. Coherent detection can detect the information of each dimension of intensity, frequency, phase and polarization of signal light, and has higher transmission efficiency and sensitivity. The optical field in the coherent detection can be linearized and restored into an electric signal, so the method is a linearized detection technology. The digital coherent detection can restore a signal light field in a digital domain, and further can realize carrier synchronization through an algorithm without a complex optical phase-locked loop and a high-performance laser, so that a coherent light receiver based on a digital coherent detection technology is mostly adopted in the conventional high-speed large-capacity long-distance optical communication system. However, at present, such a coherent optical receiver generally includes 2 optical mixers, 4 optical balance detectors (each optical balance detector includes 2 photodiodes, which require 8 photodiodes in total) and 4 Analog-to-Digital converters (ADCs), and is complex in structure, high in cost and power consumption, and not suitable for data centers, metropolitan area networks, optical access networks and other occasions which are sensitive to cost, and satellites, space stations and other occasions which have strict requirements on the volume power consumption of communication terminals, so that the coverage range of a high-speed large-capacity optical network is limited. Recent foreign researchers have proposed some new types of so-called "digital linearization" techniques. The technology adopts a single photodiode to detect optical signals, eliminates nonlinear crosstalk introduced by a photodiode square rate response function through Digital Signal Processing (DSP) operation, and realizes linear Digital coherent detection of a Signal optical field. The scheme can greatly reduce the system cost and power consumption, and is a green low-cost digital coherent detection method.
The currently proposed "digital linearization" techniques mainly include five types, namely single-stage and two-stage linearization filtering techniques, iterative linearization filtering techniques, signal-to-signal beat interference cancellation techniques, and minimum phase signal-based linearization techniques. The first four techniques calculate the non-linear terms due to the individual photodiode squaring rate response functions as a distortion and subtract from the output signal. The linearization technology based on the minimum phase signal adopts direct current light and signal light to synthesize an optical minimum phase signal, then a single photodiode is used for detecting the intensity of the optical minimum phase signal, and finally a signal light field is reconstructed in a DSP based on the Hilbert transform relation existing between the amplitude and the phase of the minimum phase signal, so that the frequency spectrum efficiency and the output signal quality are higher than those of the former four technologies. However, the existing linearization technology based on minimum phase signals has some disadvantages, for example, the DSP has a spectrum broadening effect in the logarithm operation when reconstructing the light field information, which causes that the ADC is not enough to recover the full field information under the conventional 2 times sampling rate (at least 3 times sampling rate is needed), and introducing an iterative algorithm to reduce the sampling rate to the conventional 2 times brings extra huge calculation amount, which puts a very high requirement on the rate of DSP data processing.
