Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of optoelectronics and laser optics, and particularly relates to a method for generating a GHz-level white noise electric signal.
Background
White noise is noise having equal noise energy in a wide frequency range and in a frequency band of equal bandwidth, and such a signal has wide applications in the fields of communications, electronics, and the like.
In the laser field, the nonlinear effect threshold of the laser can be effectively improved by widening the single-frequency laser and amplifying the laser again, and the high-power laser of a single longitudinal mode is obtained. The single-frequency laser is widened by loading a white noise signal through the electro-optical modulator, which is an important widening mode. However, a white noise signal required by a high-power amplifier requires a GHz level and has a higher requirement on amplitude, a noise signal generated by a common electrical signal generator in the GHz level often has a very low amplitude, and generally, a noise signal generator above a giga generally adopts a solid-state noise source (capable of working in a whole frequency band below 18 GHz) of noise in a reverse current of a crystal diode, and the general amplitude of the noise is below 20mV, and the noise cannot be directly used for the high-power amplifier (an electro-optical modulator for broadening matched with the high-power amplifier needs an amplitude input of 400mV and above), and the required amplitude can be reached by amplifying again, but an amplification system has a more complicated structure and a very high cost.
