研究目的
To propose and demonstrate a pure optical microwave oscillator with single mode oscillation, eliminating electrical components and conversions, using Brillouin-selective amplification and an active ring resonance cavity for mode selection.
研究成果
The proposed all-optical microwave oscillator successfully generates a single-mode microwave signal with high SMSR and low phase noise, demonstrating tunability. It leverages photonic advantages for potential on-chip applications, overcoming limitations of traditional optoelectronic oscillators.
研究不足
The system may introduce noise from SBS processes and SOAs, potentially limiting phase noise performance. Using SOAs with lower noise figures could improve this. Additionally, the tuning range is constrained by the characteristics of SBS in the optical fiber.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The system consists of a single-loop all-optical microwave oscillator and an embedded active ring resonance cavity (ARRC). The oscillator uses stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) for frequency selection and a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) for optical envelope detection and feedback modulation. The ARRC acts as a high-Q tunable optical filter to select a single oscillation mode.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
A continuous wave from an external cavity laser (ECL) at 1555 nm is used. A 2 km single-mode fiber (SMF) serves as the gain medium for SBS.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Equipment includes ECL, isolators, polarization controllers, attenuators, SOAs, circulators, erbium-doped fiber amplifiers (EDFAs), optical delay lines (ODLs), tunable optical filters (TOFs), optical spectrum analyzers (OSAs), electrical spectrum analyzers (ESAs), oscilloscopes, and photodetectors (PDs). Materials include SMF and various optical components.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The light is split into signal and pump branches. The pump is amplified and injected into the SMF for SBS. The ARRC is inserted into the loop, and its free spectral range (FSR) is measured. Oscillation is established, and spectra are analyzed using OSA and ESA to verify single-mode output and measure phase noise.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
Spectral analysis is performed using OSA and ESA to measure optical and electrical spectra, side-mode suppression ratio (SMSR), phase noise, and tunability. Statistical techniques are not explicitly mentioned, but standard spectral analysis is implied.
