Embodiment 1

[0041] When the central wavelength of the pump light output by the adjustable light source is 1560.585nm, the pump light power is 8dBm, and the gain of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier is 16dBm, a multi-wavelength fiber laser with 14 Stokes lines is obtained, such as figure 2 shown. The output spectrum of the multi-wavelength fiber laser is measured every 30 minutes, and the power spectrum of the multi-wavelength laser is very stable, such as image 3 shown.

Embodiment 2

[0043] When the central wavelength of the pump light output by the adjustable light source is 1556.742nm, the pump light power is 4dBm, and the gain of the erbium-doped fiber amplifier is 16dBm, a multi-wavelength laser light source with an interval of 0.088nm can be obtained. The center frequency of the fiber Bragg grating is designed to be 1556.830nm, which can filter out the first-order Stokes wave. Properly adjust the optical power of the first-order Stokes wave and the pump light to keep them approximately equal, such as Figure 4 (a) shown. Then beat the first-order Stokes wave and pump light through a high-speed photodetector to obtain a 10.8GHz microwave signal. Similarly, adjust the output center wavelength of the pump source to 1556.656nm, that is, control the second-order Stokes wave just within the filtering range of the fiber Bragg grating, and the center frequency of the fiber Bragg grating is still 1556.830nm. 21.6GHz microwave signal can be obtained. Using t...

Abstract

The invention relates to a device and a method for generating microwave signals by using a multi-wavelength Brillouin laser. An existing device obtains a high frequency difficultly. The device of the invention comprises an adjustable narrow-band light source, two isolators, three couplers, an erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier, two optical fiber circulators, a Sagnac loop mirror, an optical fiber Bragg grating and a photodetector. The adjustable narrow-band light source is in optical connection with the isolators; the isolators are in optical connection with the couplers; outputs of the couplers are in optical connection with another coupler respectively; one of optical paths is provided with the erbium-doped optical fiber amplifier, the two optical fiber circulators and the Sagnac loop mirror. The method for generating the microwave signals by using the device comprises the following steps that: pump spectrum light emitted by the adjustable narrow-band light source is split into two paths of pump spectrum light after passing through the isolators and the couplers, one path of the pump spectrum light performs beat frequency with the other path of the pump spectrum light after outputting single-channel high-order Stocks light so as to obtain high-frequency microwave signals. The device and the method change the wavelength of the pump spectrum light to make a multi-wavelength pass band continuously adjustable.
