Problems solved by technology

[0005] In order to solve the frequency response measurement of high-speed photodetectors by the frequency sweep test method, because the vector network analyzer can only measure the frequency response of the detector lower than its test frequency, and the influence of the frequency response of the modulator cannot be ignored, it is necessary to separately analyze the frequency response of the used modulation Calibration of high-speed photoelectric detectors, the problem of expensive test equipment; the problem of large rated error and low measurement accuracy of optical pulse spectrum analysis method in the frequency response measurement process of high-speed photoelectric detectors; interference frequency modulation sideband spectrum analysis method in high-speed photoelectric detection In the process of measuring the frequency response of the photodetector, due to the instability of high-order FM sidebands caused by small current modulation, the measurement results are inaccurate; the optical heterodyne method is used in the measurement of the frequency response of high-speed photodetectors due to the random phase noise of the two laser beams.
