相干光纤通信中的二次外差锁相跟踪技术的研究

本文提出了一种新的相干光纤通信中频稳定的方案——“二次外差锁相跟踪”。它使光外差中频稳定性比一般的频率负反馈方式提高了一个数量级,且光外差中频频率可自由调节。按此方案建立的实验系统,采用两个1.52μm He-Ne气体激光器分别作为独立的发射机和本机振荡器,在PZT控制电压为0～600V的范围内,实现了百兆赫量级的中频稳定,频率稳定性和频率复现性均达10~(-9)。二次外差方式有可能极大地提高光外差中频频率,为光波多路通信外差检测提供了一个易于实现的途径。     

数字信号处理算法在相干光通信系统中的应用研究

相干光通信的基础为相干调制以及外差检测技术。其中相干调制是采取传输信号对光载波的特征进行改变,那么在这个过程中就要保证光信号具备确定的频率以及相位,即存在相干光。在相干光系统应用过程中一般都会采用激光来作为相干光,由本机震荡产生的激光与信号光进行混频,从而得到具备规律变化的中频信号。本文对相干光通信系统当中的数字信号处理算法进行了分析并提出了相关的观点,供以参考。     

光束准直性对星间相干光通信外差效率的影响

以本振光为高斯光,信号光为艾里斑分布为前提,建立了空间相干光通信系统外差效率的理论模型.分别在信号光垂直入射和存在角失配入射的情况下,对外差效率进行了仿真分析.结果表明,当光敏感面半径与高斯光束腰半径之比为1.53,且高斯光束腰半径与系统F数之比为0.8时,能得到最佳的外差效率为83.3%;信号光与本振光在光敏感面混频时的非准直对外差效率的影响较大,随着失配角的增大外差效率逐渐降低,几毫弧度的失配将使外差效率减小到50%以下.

Controllable phase-locked frequency splitting in two-frequency lasers

Lasers can be made to oscillate simultaneously at two frequencies by means of anisotropic or nonreciprocal resonator elements. A technique is described for stabilizing the resulting frequency separation by locking it to an external frequency source. The stabilized separation should be useful in optical heterodyne applications.

Minimally cooled heterojunction laser heterodyne detectors in metalorganic vapor phase epitaxially grown Hg1-xCdxTe

By taking advantage of Auger suppression techniques, the leakage currents of room temperature infrared detectors operating in the LWIR band can be greatly reduced. At present, these detectors suffer from large 1/f noise and hence the improvement in the detectivity resulting from the reduced leakage currents can only be realized at high frequencies. However, this is not a problem for heterodyne systems which employ intermediate frequencies above 40 MHz. A thermo-electrically cooled Auger suppressed infrared detector operated at 260K has been studied as a heterodyne detector. The device was operated with the application of sufficient local oscillator power to double its dark current (about 0.3 mW) and a NEP of 2 x 10^-19 W Hz⁻¹ was deduced from heterodyne measurements. The frequency response is presently limited by a combination of the detector capacitance and the series resistance to about 70 MHz and ways to reduce this series resistance are considered.     

Optical coherent broad-band transmission for long-haul anddistribution systems using subcarrier multiplexing

Signal multiplexing techniques for coherent optical transmission are compared, and appropriate application for a coherent subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) system is discussed. Optical frequency modulation (FM) using direct modulation of a distributed-feedback laser diode (DFB-LD) and a heterodyne detection is shown to be feasible. A transmission system using a local laser in the transmitter is unaffected by polarization and is cost effective. Phase noise can be suppressed by a phase-noise-canceling circuit (PNC) in a heterodyne receiver. This circuit can also effectively compensate for the frequency of instability of light sources. A theoretical simulation of a coherent SCM system showed that 100 channels of 30-MHz FM signal or 15 channels of 155-Mb/s signal can be distributed to 10000 subscribers using single-stage or double-stage optical amplifiers     

WDM coherent optical star network

The results obtained with a fiber-optical star network using densely-spaced wavelength division multiplexing (WDM) and heterodyne detection techniques are reported. The system consists of three lasers transmitting at optical frequencies around 234000 GHz, spaced at a frequency interval of 300 MHz. The lasers are frequency-shift-key (FSK) modulated at 45 Mb/s. A 4×4 optical star coupler combines the three optical signals. The WDM signals received from one of the four outputs of the star coupler are demultiplexed by a heterodyne receiver. The minimum received optical power needed to obtain a bit-error rate of 10^-9 is -61 dBm or 113 photon/bit, which is 4.5 dB from the shot noise limit. The degradation caused by co-channel interference was measured and found to be negligible when the channels, modulated at 45 Mb/s, are spaced by more than 130 MHz in the IF domain. These results indicate that a WDM coherent optical star network of this type has a potential throughput of 4500 Gb/s     

1-Gsymbol/s 64-QAM Coherent Optical Transmission Over 150 km

Quadrature amplitude modulation (QAM) is an excellent modulation format for realizing optical communication systems with a high spectral efficiency of much greater than 1bit/s/Hz. We describe QAM coherent optical communication that we achieved by using heterodyne detection with a frequency-stabilized fiber laser and an optical phase-locked loop (OPLL) technique. The phase error variance of the intermediate frequency signal of the OPLL was 6.1times10^-3 rad. A 1-Gsymbol/s 64-QAM coherent signal was successfully transmitted over 150km     

A coherent optical FDM CATV distribution system

A coherent optical frequency-division-multiplexing (FDM) experimental system for an optical CATV distribution service has been developed. This system employs a channel frequency spacing locked optical FDM transmitter and a random access optical heterodyne receiver. In the transmitter, ten 1.54-μm wavelength tunable distributed-Bragg-reflector laser-diode (DBR LD) modules were FSK modulated with a 400-Mb/s PN pattern. A reference pulse method is used for channel space control. Individual channel spacings for ten LDs are stabilized to 8 GHz. The random access optical heterodyne receiver is realized with a wavelength tunable local DBR LD, polarization diversity reception technique, and random access automatic frequency controller. A current address method realizes the random access function. The results of a ten-channel FDM transmission experiment carried out to evaluate these techniques are presented. It is estimated that over 80 channel high-definition TV signals can be distributed to 2000 subscribers with 500-GHz frequency tunable DBR LD. The feasibility of expanding the subscriber number to over 10000 was confirmed by an experiment with a traveling-wave optical amplifier
