Background technique [0002] With the development of free-space optical communication technology, in order to increase the sensitivity of the free-space optical communication system, an optical phase-locked loop system is used in the free-space optical communication system, through which the frequency of signal light and local oscillator light can be combined and phase lock. [0003] In the prior art, the working principle of the optical phase-locked loop system is as follows: the signal light generated by the signal laser and the local oscillator light generated by the optical voltage-controlled oscillator are transmitted to the phase detection module, and the phase detection module detects the signal light and the local oscillator light Perform processing to obtain the phase difference sig...

[0004] However, in the prior art, only when the frequency difference between signal light and local oscillator light (U d When the frequency of (t)) is less than the preset frequency, the loop filter can work normally. For the commonly used first-order active filter, it is assumed that the damping coefficient of the filter is ζ, and the natural frequency is f n , only when U d The frequency of (t) is less than 2×ζ×f n , the loop filter can work normally; since the damping coefficient ζ of the filter is a fixed value, the phase error of the optical phase-locked loop system and the natural frequency f n proportional to, if the natural frequency f n When the value is too high, the phase error of the optical phase-locked loop system will increase and the performance will decrease. Therefore, it is necessary to change the natural frequency f n Set within a certain range, which in turn makes the operating frequency band of the loop filter narrower, resulting in a narrower operating frequency band of the optical phase-locked loop system
