The invention discloses a
broadband continuous tuning optical carrier
microwave filtering device, which comprises spectral hole-burning
crystal, a low-temperature
thermostat, an electrooptical modulator, a carrier wave
laser, an
optical fiber collimator, a frequency accurate-tuning
laser, an arbitrary
signal generator, a converging lens and an
extender lens, wherein the frequency accurate-tuning
laser emits a hole-burning preset
laser light to irradiate the
crystal; ions with a corresponding frequency are excited to an upper
energy level; within the lifetime of the upper
energy level, a spectral burnt hole with a corresponding
laser light frequency is left in the
crystal; a
microwave signal is loaded to a carrier wave
laser light through the electrooptical modulator; and when to-be-filtered optical carrier
microwave signals irradiate the same position of the crystal, the optical carrier microwave
signal with the corresponding spectral hole-burning frequency passes through the crystal and the signals with other frequencies are absorbed by the crystal, so that reconfigurable and tunable optical carrier microwave signal filtering is achieved. The
broadband continuous tuning optical carrier microwave filtering device has the characteristics of being flexible, tunable, reconfigurable and the like within a broad frequency range on the basis of transient spectral hole burning; and the single-
passband frequency response is easy to achieve.
