the central wavelength of the optical pulse signal input into the optical pulse delayer needs to be far away from the working wavelength of the first isolator 4 and the working wavelength of the second isolator 10, so that the first isolator 4 and the second isolator 10 do not have a unidirectional conduction effect but have a bidirectional conduction effect on the optical pulse signal input into the optical pulse delayer, otherwise, the effect of the optical pulse delayer cannot be achieved;
the optical pulse signal input into the optical pulse delay device needs to contain a trigger optical pulse, the pulse width (i.e. the pulse duration) of the trigger optical pulse is large and needs to be longer than the response time of the analysis and control system 11, in addition, the trigger optical pulse is positioned at the forefront end of the optical pulse signal, otherwise, the effect of the optical pulse delay device cannot be achieved;
when the optical pulse signal resonates in the ring resonant cavity, the ring resonant cavity can delay the optical pulse signal, and the delay is determined by the coupling ratio of the second coupler 3 and the coupling ratio of the third coupler 9;
as shown in fig. 1, an optical pulse signal input to the optical pulse delayer is input from an optical input end of a first coupler 1, and is divided into two beams after passing through the first coupler 1, because the coupling ratio of the first coupler 1 is much greater than 1, and the light intensity entering a second coupler 3 through the first coupler 1 is much greater than the light intensity entering a first photodetector 2 through the first coupler 1, one beam with smaller light intensity enters the first photodetector 2, and the other beam with larger light intensity enters an annular resonant cavity through the second coupler 3; because the first isolator 4 has a bidirectional conduction effect on the optical pulse signal input into the optical pulse delayer, the optical pulse signal in the annular resonant cavity can be output by the second coupler 3 and enter the second photoelectric detector 5 through the first isolator 4, and meanwhile, because the second isolator 10 has a bidirectional conduction effect on the optical pulse signal input into the optical pulse delayer, the optical pulse signal in the annular resonant cavity can also be output by the third coupler 9 and output by the optical output end of the optical pulse delayer through the second isolator 10;
the pump light output by the pump light source 6 enters the ring-shaped resonant cavity through the third coupler 9, the pump light in the ring-shaped resonant cavity can enter the first isolator 4 through the second coupler 3, because the wavelength of the output light of the pump light source 6 is the same as the working wavelength of the first isolator 4, and the first isolator 4 has a one-way conduction effect on the light with the same wavelength as the working wavelength thereof, the pump light cannot pass through the first isolator 4, meanwhile, the pump light in the ring-shaped resonant cavity enters the second isolator 10 through the third coupler 9, because the wavelength of the output light of the pump light source 6 is the same as the working wavelength of the second isolator 10, and the second isolator 10 has a one-way conduction effect on the light with the same wavelength as the working wavelength thereof, the pump light cannot pass through the second isolator 10 and is output by the light output end of the optical pulse delay unit;

meanwhile, in the analysis and control system 11, the loss of the trigger optical pulse in the ring resonator is obtained from the minimum voltage value of the transmission voltage signal, then, the analysis and control system 11 generates a dc voltage signal with the amplitude of y, the dc voltage signal is used as a pumping dc voltage signal, and the pumping dc voltage signal is loaded to the electrical input terminal of the pumping light source 6 to adjust the power of the pumping light output by the pumping light source 6, so that the pumping gain ring waveguide 8 provides a gain for the optical pulse signal input to the present optical pulse delay, and the optical pulse after the trigger optical pulse in the optical pulse signal input to the present optical pulse delay is made to have a gain equal to the loss in the ring resonator, so that no matter the optical pulse signal input to the present optical pulse delay is output from the optical output terminal of the second coupler 3 or output from the optical output terminal of the third coupler 9 through the ring resonator, the transmissivity of different wavelength components in the optical pulse signal input into the optical pulse delayer is the same and is 1, so that the pulse deformation caused by different transmissivity of different wavelength components in the optical pulse signal is eliminated, and the pulse deformation generated after the optical pulse signal input into the optical pulse delayer is delayed by the annular resonant cavity is very small.
