Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to microwave photon link technology, in particular to a feedback control system and method for controlling the output light intensity of a double-parallel MZM modulator. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of Internet services and interactive multimedia services such as IPTV and video on demand (VOD), wireless communication systems have developed from traditional voice services to a new stage. There is an urgent need for simple, reliable and low-cost wireless communication services that can provide any media at any time and any place. With the continuous increase of users and bandwidth requirements, the available wireless spectrum resources will soon be exhausted, so broadband wireless communication technology must be extended to higher frequencies. In the optical fiber communication system, the laid optical fiber cables have not been fully utilized, and there are a large number of idle bandwidth resources. H...
