Microwave photonic bandpass filter based on spectrumslicing and phase modulator

A tunable microwave photonic bandpass filter with high mainlobe-to-sidelobe ratio (MSR) based on a phase modulator and a dispersive device is proposed. The multi-tap characteristics of the filter are realized by slicing a broadband source using a Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) which results in a high MSR of 25 dB. The tunability of the filter is realized by an optical variable delay line (OVDL) in one arm of the MZI, which changes the wavelength spacing of the sliced broadband source and results in a tunable free spectrum range (FSR) of the filter. The central frequency of the bandpass filter is tunable from 10.7 GHz to 27 GHz by changing the wavelength spacing from 0.145 nm to 0.054 nm.     

基于重构等效啁啾超结构光纤光栅的可调谐微波光子滤波器的仿真研究

提出了一种新型的基于重构等效啁啾(REC)超结构光纤光栅的可调谐微波光子滤波器的结构。根据REC技术, 利用同一块均匀相位掩模板可以灵活地设计制作出具有不同斜率的线性群时延的光纤光栅。作为有限冲击响应(FIR)滤波器的抽头延时单元, 不同光纤光栅之间群时延的差值决定了滤波器的自由频程(FSR)。通过改变可调谐激光器的输出波长来选择不同的抽头间时延差从而达到调谐FSR目的。仿真结果表明, 该滤波器可以实现中心频率从21 GHz到33 GHz的连续可调。事实上, 由于REC技术的灵活性, 在理论上对于任意给定的频段和调谐范围, 这种新型的滤波器结构都能够实现。     

级联臂长差啁啾MZI型带通滤波器的分析设计

为了设计出自由频谱区(FSR)较大和3dB带宽较小的带通滤波器,拟合级联马赫-曾德尔干涉仪(MZI)与阶梯形滤波器原理的相似性,在MZI中引入啁啾臂长差以有效扩展FSR.采用传输矩阵法建立带通滤波器的理论模型,进而分析其滤波性能(3dB带宽、FSR)与结构参数(级联级数、衍射阶数)的对应关系.结果表明,当合理选取啁啾系数,该滤波器在保持3dB带宽不变的前提下有效扩展了FSR,并且在整个FSR内具有高边模抑制比.在设计实例中,对应低于.5nm的3dB带宽和高于100nm的FSR(要求边模抑制比高于35dB)的滤波性能,器件的级联级数、衍射阶数、最佳啁啾系数分别对应16,5和5.     

Bandwidth-reconfigurable single-passband microwave photonic filter based on stimulated Brillouin scattering

A bandwidth-reconfigurable filter is necessary to meet the need of growing communication capacity and signal coverage frequency range. The stimulated Brillouin scattering (SBS) gain spectrum as a filter passband is used to extract desired microwave signals. Due to the fact that the passband is formed by mapping the Brillouin gain spectrum, bandwidth reconfigurability can be implemented by changing Brillouin gain linewidth. In this paper, a scheme using a 5-lines optical comb acting as a Brillouin pump is experimentally demonstrated. The spectrum of the 5-lines optical comb is extended by a binary phase shift keying (BPSK) pulse modulated signal. Experiments have shown that the 3-dB and 20-dB bandwidths of the filter are 196 MHz and 257 MHz, respectively, and its 20-dB shape factor is 1.31. The passband ripple is ~3.5 dBm with stop-band rejection of 20 dBm under 15 dBm optical pump power.

Analysis of the spontaneous emission of a tunablephase-shift-controlled DFB laser filter

Using a transfer matrix method, the results of analysis of the spontaneous emission spectrum of a three-section phase-controlled distributed feedback (DFB) laser for implementing a continuously tunable optical filter are presented. The influence of various parameters-net field gain, coupling coefficient, phase shift and reflection coefficients-on the spectrum behavior are studied theoretically. The main-to subtransmission peak magnitude ratio can be chosen while varying the frequency, which demonstrates the tunability of the three-section phase-controlled DFB laser filter. Analysis shows that a three-section DFB laser (a passive phase shift control region between two DFB structures) presents a single-mode spontaneous emission spectrum operating over a wide continuous tuning range of less than 1 nm

Parallel-cascaded semiconductor microring resonators for high-order and wide-FSR filters

We demonstrate an optical channel dropping filter (OCDF) using three parallel-cascaded vertically coupled microrings with improved rolloff, bandpass flattening, and wide free spectral range (FSR) compared to a single-ring OCDF using single-mode tightly confined waveguides in both GaAs-AlGaAs and GaInAsP-InP. We achieve FSRs of 30 nm for GaAs-AlGaAs and 40 nm for GaInAsP-InP devices, which are three and four times greater, respectively, than those for single rings. The rolloff is 2.8 times faster than that for a single ring.     

Tunable polymer optical add/drop filter for multiwavelength networks

We present a polymer optical add/drop filter with a channel cross-talk of -18.5 dB, a free spectral range of 12.8 nm and a channel spacing of 400 GHz (4 channels) as well as a tunable optical filter with a free spectral range of 50 nm. Both filter designs are based on a synthesis which provides the minimum number of filter stages for a given channel crosstalk and number of channels.
