Problems solved by technology

But so far, there is no report on the use of the first-order crosstalk effect to realize the tunable differentiator
In most schemes, once the all-optical differentiator is fixed, its adjustability or reconfigurability will be destroyed, and it cannot adapt to the changing needs of future network nodes, which limits the robustness of the communication network.

Abstract

The invention discloses a reconfigurable all-optical differentiator based on differential group delay. The all-optical intensity differentiator with reconfigurable functions comprises an orthogonal polarization signal generator, four polarization controllers, an amplifier, an adjustable differential group delay device and a polarization analyzer. Compared with other differentiators, the polarization controllers 1063 and an optical switch 107 can be adjusted, three functions of positive differentiation, negative differentiation and absolute value differentiation are reconfigured, the differentiator is adjusted according to different functional requirements of next-generation optical networks, and robustness of the future optical networks can be greatly enhanced. Limit of the photoelectric conversion rate in processing nodes of the future networks can be broken through by the aid of all-optical properties, so that high-speed optical network communication is realized.

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of optical devices, in particular to a reconfigurable all-optical differentiator based on differential group delay. It is suitable for network nodes that realize different differential functions according to different requirements, and can realize frequency multiplication of clock signals at the same time, and can be applied to the field of ultrashort pulse generation. Background technique [0002] In the past ten years, the optical transmission rate in the backbone network has increased rapidly, and the transmission capacity has also been greatly improved through Dense Wavelength Division Multiplexing (DWDM). The application of advanced technology also makes the transmission of ultra-high-speed optical signals easier and easier. However, with the development of ultra-high-speed optical communication networks, the bottleneck of the electrical domain speed of the photoelectric-to-optical conversion devices i...
