Problems solved by technology

The wavelength converter utilizes the second-order nonlinear effect of the cascaded frequency doubling and difference frequency in the Ti:PPLN optical waveguide to realize the wavelength conversion of D(Q)PSK signals. However, the Ti:PPLN optical waveguide only supports the single polarization state TM mode Signals that meet the quasi-phase matching conditions realize wavelength conversion. Therefore, it is difficult to realize advanced modulation...
