基于微波四倍频的上转换光子方法及系统Up-conversion photon method and system based on microwave quadrupling

技术领域technical field

本发明提出了一种基于微波四倍频的上转换光子方法及系统,该方法及系统属于微波光子学领域。The invention provides an up-conversion photonic method and system based on microwave quadruple frequency, which belong to the field of microwave photonics.

背景技术Background technique

频率上转换器作为发射机的重要组成部分,通常采用将一个低频的中频信号与一个高频的本振信号混频的方法来实现频率上转换。实现微波信号上转换的方法有许多,其中包括利用不同调制器件的上转换技术,例如两个强度调制器级联,双平行马赫曾德调制器(DPMZM)和双偏振双平行马赫曾德调制器等上转换方法与系统。但是在这些方法中,只用到了本振和中频信号的一阶边带,只能产生频率为ωLOIF的上转换信号。在这种情况下,如果要更高的射频信号产生,就需要频率更高的本振信号发生器。此外,由于调制器的带宽一般不超过40GHz,输出的上转换信号频率还会受到调制器自身带宽的影响。As an important part of the transmitter, the frequency up-converter usually adopts the method of mixing a low-frequency intermediate frequency signal and a high-frequency local oscillator signal to realize the frequency up-conversion. There are many ways to achieve microwave signal up-conversion, including up-conversion techniques using different modulation devices, such as two intensity modulators cascaded, dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators (DPMZM), and dual-polarization dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators Up-conversion method and system. However, in these methods, only the first-order sidebands of the LO and IF signals are used, and only an upconverted signal of frequency ω LO + ω IF can be generated. In this case, if a higher RF signal is to be generated, a higher frequency local oscillator signal generator is required. In addition, since the bandwidth of the modulator generally does not exceed 40 GHz, the frequency of the output up-converted signal is also affected by the bandwidth of the modulator itself.

为了减少上转换系统对本振信号频率的需求以及突破调制器自身带宽的限制,可以通过将中频信号与本振信号的高阶边带混频来实现上转换。其中包括使用集成调制器或多个调制器级联的方法来实现本振多倍频的频率上转换。目前的主要本振倍频的微波光子上转换技术,其主要方法为在调制中利用本振信号的高阶边带或者利用多个调制器的二次调制实现本振倍频的微波光子上转换。2014年,Gao等人提出了一种基于双平行马赫增德尔调制器的本振倍频的微波光子混频器,该方法通过控制电压实现2阶本振信号的双边带调制。由于双平行马赫曾德调制器工作在载波抑制双边带调制模式,拍频得到的混频信号包含很多其他杂散信号例如2ωLO,2ωRF等。另外该系统在混频过程中只能同时输出上转换与下转换信号,但是在实际的变频系统(如接收机或发射机)中,仅需要上转换或下转换信号中的一个,而多余的信号将成为杂散信号。Yin等人提出了基于马赫曾德调制器与双平行马赫曾德调制器级联的本振倍频上转换方法,马赫曾德调制器输出本振信号的±1阶边带,将马赫曾德调制器输出的本振信号作为载波加载到双平行马赫曾德调制器上进行二次调制,最终实现本振倍频上转换。其主要优点为可以在实现上转换的同时补偿远距离传输所带来的色散损耗,但是由于在二次调制过程中还是采用了双边带调制,得到的上转换信号还是会有很多杂散。Chi等人提出了利用三个马赫曾德调制器级联实现本振四倍频上转换的方法,通过前两个马赫曾德调制器产生本振信号的±2阶边带,将输出的本振信号作为载波进入第三个马赫曾德调制器实现本振四倍频的上转换。由于同样采用双边带调制,系统的杂散信号强度甚至高过上转换信号强度。In order to reduce the frequency requirement of the local oscillator signal in the up-conversion system and break through the bandwidth limitation of the modulator, the up-conversion can be achieved by mixing the intermediate frequency signal with the high-order sidebands of the local oscillator signal. These include the use of an integrated modulator or a cascade of multiple modulators to achieve frequency up-conversion for multiples of the local oscillator. At present, the main microwave photonic up-conversion technology of LO frequency doubling is mainly used to realize the microwave photon up-conversion of LO frequency doubling by using the high-order sideband of the local oscillator signal or using the secondary modulation of multiple modulators in the modulation. . In 2014, Gao et al. proposed a microwave photonic mixer based on double-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators for frequency doubling of the local oscillator. This method realizes the double-sideband modulation of the second-order local oscillator signal by controlling the voltage. Since the dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator works in the carrier-suppressed double-sideband modulation mode, the mixing signal obtained by the beat frequency contains many other spurious signals such as 2ω LO , 2ω RF and so on. In addition, the system can only output up-conversion and down-conversion signals at the same time during the mixing process, but in an actual frequency conversion system (such as a receiver or transmitter), only one of the up-conversion or down-conversion signals is required, and the redundant The signal will become a spurious signal. Yin et al. proposed a LO frequency doubling up-conversion method based on the cascade of Mach-Zehnder modulators and dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators. The local oscillator signal output by the modulator is loaded on the dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator as a carrier for secondary modulation, and finally the local oscillator frequency double-up conversion is realized. Its main advantage is that it can compensate for the dispersion loss caused by long-distance transmission while realizing up-conversion. However, since the double-sideband modulation is still used in the secondary modulation process, the obtained up-conversion signal will still have a lot of spurs. Chi et al. proposed a method of cascading three Mach-Zehnder modulators to realize the quadruple frequency up-conversion of the local oscillator. The first two Mach-Zehnder modulators are used to generate the ±2 order sidebands of the local oscillator signal, and the output local The oscillator signal enters the third Mach-Zehnder modulator as a carrier to realize the up-conversion of the local oscillator quadruple frequency. Since the double-sideband modulation is also used, the spurious signal strength of the system is even higher than that of the up-conversion signal.

Then the output LO sidebands are passed through the optical circulator and fiber grating to reflect the +2-order LO and transmit the -2-order LO as a carrier wave into the second dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator. The intermediate frequency signal that needs to be up-converted is loaded into the two arms of the dual-parallel Mach-Zehnder modulator through a 90-degree bridge, and the corresponding DC bias voltage is adjusted to make it work at the single-sideband modulation point of the suppressed carrier. Finally, the modulated intermediate frequency and the local oscillator optical signal are beat frequency by the photodetector, and the up-conversion signal of the local oscillator quadruple frequency is obtained. The advantage of this method is that it can use dual parallel Mach-Zehnder modulators and fiber gratings to separate the local oscillator signal from sidebands, and combine with a 90-degree bridge to perform single-sideband modulation on the intermediate frequency signal, and finally output a very pure quadruple frequency. Convert the signal, while reducing the need for the local oscillator signal in the up-conversion system.
