A brillouin fiber laser narrow-band tunable double-pass microwave photonic filter

This invention relates to the fields of optical fiber communication and microwave photonics. Existing tunable dual-passband microwave photonic filters suffer from poor passband stability and cannot meet practical application requirements. This invention provides a narrow-band tunable dual-passband microwave photonic filter using a Brillouin fiber laser.

Combined with a Brillouin fiber oscillator and a cascaded Fabry-Perot cavity, the Brillouin gain spectrum is narrowed to the kHz level. Simultaneously, the different periodic resonant frequencies of the two ring cavities effectively suppress side modes, filtering out the desired frequency band signal. Furthermore, by synchronously tuning the center frequencies of the two passbands of the filter by changing the pump light wavelength, and simultaneously controlling the output frequency of the signal generator, the frequency interval between the two passbands is changed, ultimately realizing a narrow-linewidth tunable dual-passband microwave photonic filter.
