An optical comb generator receives light from at least two continuous wave laser sources, produces a different frequency comb from each laser source, and produces an output that it the simultaneous combination of the different frequency combs. The different frequency combs span different frequency bands, but at least partially overlap in frequency with an adjacent comb in a region of overlap. A spectral filter produces a filtered output that has at least one pair of tones from the region of overlap, the pair of tones comprising one tone from each of two adjacent combs. Feedback control based on the filtered output is applied to adjust the light entering the comb generator such that the frequencies and phases of the pair of tones from the region of overlap are aligned. In this way, the multiple different overlapping combs are stitched together to form a single seamless comb spanning a broader frequency range.

The invention discloses a DP-MZM-based reconfigurable mixer with phase shift and image rejection functions, and belongs to the field of microwave photon signal processing. By adjusting an input radio frequency signal and a direct current bias voltage of the DP-MZM1, four different LO frequency doubling and mixing functions can be realized. By controlling the angle alpha between the polarization direction of the polarization analyzer and one axis of the modulator, the phase of the generated signal can be flexibly tuned in the range of 0-360 degrees. When combined with the optical frequency comb, the multi-channel multi-band frequency conversion system can be expanded into a multi-channel multi-band frequency conversion system with independent phase tuning capability by utilizing the channel switching and frequency slot selection functions of the wavelength selection switch, and parallel output of various frequency mixing results can be realized. By adjusting the phase difference between the two-channel output signals, I / Q mixing, double-balanced mixing and image rejection mixing can be configured. The scheme is not influenced by direct current bias drift, the system complexity is reduced, and the frequency conversion efficiency is improved.
