注入连续光实现锁模光纤激光器的波长稳定

提出了一种实现锁模光纤激光器波长稳定的方法,即向锁模激光器腔内注入连续光,使某一组纵模在注入连续光的基础上起振。这组纵模在对增益介质的竞争中可以稳定地占据优势,从而实现激光器输出光谱的稳定。理论分析发现注入连续光会使锁模激光器纵模线宽变大,而线宽的增大将会增加进入纵模的连续光功率。在实验中对基于掺铒光纤放大器(EDFA)的主动锁模光纤激光器进行波长稳定,激光器的调制频率为10.06 GHz,观察到了良好的稳定效果。为进一步检验波长稳定的效果,对锁模光纤激光器进行波长稳定后,将其输出的光信号经过一个法布里-珀罗(F-P)滤波器,稳定地滤出了功率较高的纵模。法布里-珀罗滤波器的自由光谱区(FSR)为40.24 GHz,透射峰3 dB带宽为40 MHz。实验结果证明纵模被稳定在法布里-珀罗滤波器的透射峰范围内,纵模波长的波动小于40 MHz。

基于两个平行马赫-增德尔调制器的光载无线传输系统

为提高光载无线(radio over fiber,RoF) 传输系统中的光波信号的利用率,本文提出了一种基于两个平行马赫-增德尔调制器 (Mach-Zehnder modulator,MZM) 的RoF传输系统。两个平行MZM经射频(radio frequency,RF) 信号调制后,产生5个光边带信号,分别是正负一阶光边带、正负二阶光边带和光载波。其中正负二阶光边带使用基带数据进行调制,经光电检测器(photodiode,PD) 拍频后产生已调数据的毫米波信号,再由天线发射出去。正二阶边带和光载波经PD拍频后产生未调制数据的毫米波,该毫米波用于接收端解调的本振信号(local oscillator,LO) 。负二阶边带信号用于上行链路的光载波。在本系统中,5个光边带信号都被充分利用,提高了光信号的利用效率。此外,还分析了该系统通过色散介质的传输特性,为RoF通信系统提供了一种实用化的解决方案。

A novel scheme to implement duplex 60-GHz radio-over-fiber link with 20-GHz double-sideband optical millimeter-wave transmitted along the fiber

A duplex radio-over-fiber (RoF) link with a novel scheme to generate 60-GHz millimeter (mm)-wave using 20 GHz double sideband (DSB) optical mm-wave with signal carried only by its optical carrier is investigated. In the RoF downlink, the modulation frequency to generate the DSB optical mm-wave is reduced greatly. The theoretical analysis and numerical simulation show that this scheme cannot only eliminate the code form distortion caused by the time shifting of the sidebands, but also reduce the influence of the fading effect as the DSB optical mm-wave signal is transmitted along the fiber. Based on the scheme, the duplex RoF link with the frequency up- (down-) conversion of the down- (up-) link mm-wave signal is built and the uplink transmission performance is analyzed theoretically.

New progress of mm-wave radio-over-fiber system based on OFM

This paper presents an overview on new progresses-of millimeter wave (mm-wave) radio-over-fiber (RoF) system based on mm-wave generation by optical frequency multiplication (OFM), including gen-eration of high-order optical side modes by optical modulation using dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator (DD-MZM) and enhancement of high-order optical side mode induced by selective amplification due to stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS). The paper describes OFM by using DD-MZM in principle and verifies it in an experimental bidirectional 40GHz RoF system. SBS amplification enhances the generated information-bearing mm-wave in downlink and also helps in producing a pure reference mm-wave for radio frequency-intermediate frequency (RF-IF) down-conversion in uplink. These efforts pushed the OFM technology of mm-RoF systems to achieve more and more feasibility and cost-effectiveness.     

基于FBG和偏振复用的8倍频全双工RoF系统

Full-Duplex 60-GHz RoF System With Optical Local Oscillating Carrier Distribution Scheme Based on FWM Effect in SOA

A full-duplex 60-GHz radio-over-fiber (RoF) system using novel optical local oscillating (LO) carrier distribution scheme to reduce the system cost and realize centralized management is proposed and experimentally demonstrated. In the proposed scheme, the optical LO carriers for producing remote electrical LO signals at the base stations (BSs) are generated together with the downlink RoF carriers at the central station (CS) via four-wave-mixing effect in semiconductor optical amplifier, and are then distributed to the BSs along with the downlink RoF signals. By down-converting the 60-GHz-band uplink signal with the remotely produced 60-GHz LO signal and reusing the optical LO carriers as the uplink optical source, only a cost-effective intermediate frequency modulator is required at each BS to transmit the uplink signal, which will dramatically reduce the whole system budget due to a large amount of BSs. Moreover, the operating frequency of each BS can be controlled remotely at the CS end to realize centralized management and convenient reconfiguration. Using the proposed scheme, 622-Mb/s signals for both directions are successfully transmitted over a 20-km single-mode fiber link and a 50-cm wireless channel with less than 0.1- and 0.2-dB power penalty for downlink and uplink, respectively.

Full-Duplex 1.0 Gbit/s Data Transmission Over 60 GHz Radio-on-Fiber Access System Based on the Loop-Back Optical Heterodyne Technique

Full-duplex transmission over a 60 GHz radio-on-fiber access system based on the optical heterodyne technique is verified in this paper. With this technique, an optical carrier generator on the transmitting side consolidates the functions of wavelength and polarization control for optical heterodyne detection in uplinks and optical millimeter-wave generation in downlinks, on behalf of each optical transmitter/receiver. Therefore, the whole system configuration can be significantly simplified. A full-duplex 1.0 Gbit/s transmission experiment over 10 km of single-mode fiber, which represents an access network transmission, is demonstrated using the simultaneous modulation/photodetection operation of an electroabsorption modulator (EAM). Bit error rates of less than 10$^{-9}$ were obtained in both the uplink and downlink without noticeable mutual interference, even though the laser source and the EAM is shared by both links, and no significant dispersion-induced degradation was observed. Moreover, the experimental results showed that an optical link budget of 9.2 dB can be achieved with the experimental configuration.      

Bidirectional ROF Links Using Optically Up-Converted DPSK for Downstream and Remodulated OOK for Upstream

We propose a novel radio-over-fiber system to provide full-duplex services by using optical differential phase-shift keying modulation format at the central station for downstream and on-off keying remodulation of the downlink carrier at the base station (BS) for upstream. The optical carrier suppression modulation scheme is employed to simultaneously generate and up-convert 40-GHz optical millimeter wave. As the same optical carrier is used for both uplink and downlink, no additional light source is required at the BS, which greatly reduces the cost and simplifies the overall system. Simulations and experimental results show that the bidirectional 2.5-Gb/s data is successfully transmitted over 40-km single-mode fiber (SMF-28) with less than 2-dB power penalty
