研究目的
To generate linearly-chirped microwave waveforms with tunable center frequency and expandable time-bandwidth product (TBWP).
研究成果
A method to generate linearly-chirped microwave waveform with tunable center frequency and expandable TBWP has been demonstrated. A TBWP up to ~166.4 was achieved, with potential for larger values if measurement devices are improved.
研究不足
The bandwidth of the oscilloscope limits the capture of frequency components beyond 32 GHz.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The method involves using two dispersion compensation fibers (DCFs) to introduce different chirps into optical pulses via wavelength-to-time mapping effect. Two tunable optical filters (TOFs) are used to independently and flexibly control the center frequency and sweeping bandwidth of the generated microwave signal.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A mode-locked laser (MLL) with a pulse repetition rate of 37 MHz is used as the optical source.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes a mode-locked laser, optical couplers, tunable optical filters, dispersion compensation fibers, a variable optical delay line, an erbium doped fiber amplifier, and an ultra-fast photo-detector.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Optical pulses are divided into two arms, their spectra are shaped by TOFs, different chirps are introduced via DCFs, and the signals are then coupled, amplified, and converted into a microwave waveform.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The generated waveforms are measured using an oscilloscope and analyzed using short-time Fourier transform (STFT).
