Description

Terahertz signal generation method and device
Technical Field

Current techniques for improving spectrum utilization, such as orthogonal frequency division multiplexing and higher order modulation, also have difficulty meeting the rapid increase in communication data traffic. An effective means for solving the problem of the exhaustion of the spectrum resources is to adopt a terahertz technology, because the frequency of terahertz can be as high as 10THz, almost endless spectrum resources are provided for wireless communication. Due to the natural advantages of photonics high frequency and large bandwidth, terahertz wave generation schemes based on photonics are receiving attention.
The most straightforward method of generating terahertz waves based on photonics is to utilize two free-running lasers. However, this method has phase noise caused by laser frequency offset and line width, and the phase noise can cause serious bit errors. Phase noise caused by frequency offset and line width of the laser can be compensated by using a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) algorithm, but the DSP algorithm brings large power consumption and time delay, the cost of a receiving end is increased, and the real-time transmission of information is influenced.

In a terahertz wave link carrying data signals and generated based on an optical frequency comb, phase noise caused by physical optical path separation is eliminated, and the stability of terahertz wave phase is necessarily improved; however, a scheme with simple structure and strong application feasibility is still lacked so far.

The working principle and beneficial effects of the terahertz signal generation method and the terahertz signal generation device provided by the above embodiments are specifically described below with reference to fig. 2.
As shown in fig. 2(a), first, a series of coherent optical comb teeth are generated by the optical-frequency comb generator OFCG, and the frequency interval between adjacent optical comb teeth is f. As shown in fig. 2(b), the optical comb generated by the optical comb generator OFCG is amplified by the EDFA1, and then wavelength-selected by the first optical filter OF 1. The upper channel OF the first optical filter OF1 screens out the first signal light comb 101 (frequency f)c) And a second signal light comb 102 (frequency f)m) The frequency interval between the first signal light comb 101 and the second signal light comb 102 is mf (m is a positive integer). Electric field E of the two optical comb teeth1Can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002867499130000051
wherein j represents a complex number.
Meanwhile, as shown in fig. 2(c), the lower channel OF the first optical filter OF1 screens out two frequencies as the first local oscillation optical comb 301 (frequency f)m) And a second local oscillator optical comb 302 (frequency f)n) The frequency interval between the first local oscillation optical comb 301 and the second local oscillation optical comb 302 is (n-m) f (n is a positive integer). Electric field E of the two optical comb teeth2Can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002867499130000052
as shown in fig. 2(d), the two signal optical combs separated by the channels in the first optical filter OF1 are modulated by the input intermediate frequency Data signal (Data) in the double-drive mach-zehnder modulator DMZM. The double-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator DMZM is biased at an orthogonal transmission point to realize single-sideband modulation, so that a first signal light sideband 201 and a second signal light sideband 202 are obtained, and a first signal light comb 101 and a second signal light comb 102 are reserved. Single sideband modulation has higher spectral efficiency than double sideband modulation. Under the condition of small signal modulation, the output electric field E of the double-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator DMZM is expanded according to the Jacobian formula3Can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002867499130000053
wherein, tau1Is the time delay caused by the length change OF the channel optical fiber on the first optical filter OF1, a is the modulation factor OF the upper and lower arms OF the dual-drive Mach-Zehnder modulator DMZM, s (t) is the input data signal, fIFIs the intermediate frequency of the data signal, Jk(·) denotes a bessel function of order k (k ═ 0 or 1).
As shown by the dotted line in fig. 2(e), the two local oscillator optical combs screened out by the channels OF the first optical filter OF1 are injected into the AOFS. The acousto-optic frequency shifter AOFS is driven by a low-frequency oscillation signal (of MHz magnitude) output by the voltage controlled oscillator VCO, and performs up-conversion on the two input optical comb teeth to obtain a third local oscillation optical comb tooth 303 and a fourth local oscillation optical comb tooth 304. Electric field E of two optical comb teeth subjected to up-conversion4Can be expressed as:

wherein f isAOAnd

respectively representing the frequency and the transient phase, tau, of the output oscillating signal of a voltage-controlled oscillator VCO2Is the delay caused by the change OF the length OF the lower channel fiber OF the first optical filter OF 1.
Then, the optical signals output by the double-drive mach-zehnder modulator DMZM and the acoustic-optical frequency shifter AOFS are coupled together by the 1 × 2 optical coupler OC, and the corresponding optical spectrum schematic diagram is shown in fig. 2 (f). The optical signal output from the optical coupler OC is amplified by EDFA2, and then wavelength-selected by a second optical filter OF 2. The upper channel OF the second optical filter OF2 screens out two sets OF optical signals with terahertz frequency interval, as shown in fig. 2(g), including the upper channel from the first optical filter OF1 with frequency fcFirst signal light comb 101 of frequency fc-fIFAnd a channel frequency f from the first optical filter OF1n+fAOAnd a fourth local oscillator optical comb 304. Electric field E of the two sets of optical signals5Can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002867499130000063
as can be seen from equation (6), the optical signal output from the channel on the second optical filter OF2 has phase noise due to the physical optical path separation OF the first optical filter OF 1.
Then, an optical signal output by a channel on the second optical filter OF2 is injected into the single-row carrier photodetector UCT-PD for photoelectric conversion, and a terahertz wave carrying data information is generated and emitted through the high-gain terahertz antenna. Due to the frequency selective nature of the single-row carrier photodetector UCT-PD, the resulting low frequency and DC components are negligible. Correspondingly, the single-row carrier photoelectric detector UCT-PD outputs a terahertz photocurrent i (t)THzCan be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002867499130000064
wherein, the first term of the above formula is the generated terahertz carrier wave, and the second term is the generated terahertz signal. Phase of terahertz carrier wave
Figure BDA0002867499130000065
And phase of terahertz signal
Figure BDA0002867499130000066
Respectively as follows:
Figure BDA0002867499130000067
Figure BDA0002867499130000071
as can be seen from equation (6), the input intermediate frequency data signal is shifted to the terahertz frequency band. As can be seen from equations (7) and (8), after single-row carrier photodetector UCT-PD photodetection, phase noise caused by physical optical path separation OF first optical filter OF1 is transferred to the generated terahertz carrier wave and terahertz signal. When the length of the optical fiber varies within a small range, s (t-tau) is present1) S (t); furthermore, since the frequency of the optical carrier is much higher than that of the terahertz wave, -2 π fc21) Is the dominant phase noise term. Phase noise degrades the signal-to-noise ratio of the signal and introduces severe bit errors.
Meanwhile, the lower channel OF the second optical filter OF2 screens out two optical combs at MHz frequency interval: as shown in FIG. 2(h), the channel frequency f is included from the first optical filter OF1mAnd a channel frequency f from the first optical filter OF1m+fAOAnd a third local oscillator optical comb 303. Electric field E of the two optical comb teeth6Can be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002867499130000072
as can be seen from equation (9), the frequency is fmAnd fm+fAOThe two optical combs OF (2) also respectively contain phase information introduced by the change OF the lengths OF the upper and lower channels OF the first optical filter OF 1.
Then, two optical combs screened out by the channels under the second optical filter OF2 are injected into the low-speed photodetector LS-PD for heterodyne beat frequency. Neglecting the direct current term, the low frequency feedback photocurrent i (t) generated by the low speed photoelectric detector LS-PDFBCan be expressed as:
Figure BDA0002867499130000073
wherein the phase error of the feedback photocurrent
Figure BDA0002867499130000074
Comprises the following steps:
Figure BDA0002867499130000075
as can be seen from the formula (11), the low-frequency feedback photocurrent is consistent with the main phase noise contained in the terahertz carrier wave and the terahertz signal generated by the single-row carrier photodetector UCT-PD, and is-2 pi fc21). Therefore, the phase noise of the terahertz carrier wave and the terahertz signal can be indirectly detected by detecting the phase information of the low-frequency feedback photocurrent, the complexity and the cost of the system are reduced, and the performance of the link is improved.
Finally, the feedback photocurrent generated by the low-speed photodetector LS-PD is firstly subjected to frequency division by a frequency divider, then phase discrimination is carried out on the feedback photocurrent and a high-stability reference Clock signal generated by a high-stability Clock source Clock in a phase frequency detector PFD, and phase error caused by separation OF a first optical filter OF1 physical optical path is extracted

Figure BDA0002867499130000082
And then compensating the phase noise of the terahertz carrier wave and the terahertz signal generated by the single-row carrier photoelectric detector UCT-PD. When the low-frequency feedback loop enters a phase locking state, the VCO outputs the phase of the oscillation signal
Figure BDA0002867499130000083
And the phase of the high-stability clock signal
Figure BDA0002867499130000084
Satisfies the following conditions:
Figure BDA0002867499130000085
substituting the formula (12) into the formulas (7) and (8) can obtain the phase theta of the terahertz carrier wave after feedback compensationCarrierAnd phase theta of terahertz signalTHz
Figure BDA0002867499130000086
Figure BDA0002867499130000087
As can be seen from equations (13) and (14), the primary phase noise term-2 π f resulting from the physical optical path separation OF the first optical filter OF1 after closed-loop feedback compensationc21) Is suppressed. Therefore, the generated terahertz carrier wave and the terahertz signal have good phase stability and can be received without error codes.
Therefore, based on the single heterodyne closed loop feedback technology, terahertz phase stabilization is realized, phase compensation is not required to be performed at a receiving end by using a DSP algorithm, and the time delay and the power loss of a system are greatly reduced. In the extraction process of phase errors introduced by physical optical path separation, only one time of low-frequency heterodyne detection operation is performed, so that the complexity, link loss and cost of the system are greatly reduced. In addition, the optical signal phase compensation is carried out by utilizing the voltage controlled oscillator VCO and the acousto-optic frequency shifter AOFS, and the optical signal phase compensation method has the advantages of high response speed and infinite phase compensation range.
